Good evening collector friends, who can help to determine the manufacturer. Unfortunately, I can't find a concrete example of the lower needle suspension. Could it possibly be a GB piece? I would be grateful for a reply....

Hi Chris,
IMOP, this is neither "Buntmetal", or a Gustav Brehmer.
It looks like a cast copy to me. I don't like the hinge being cast as part of the badge.
I will post photos of my unmarked GB when I get home from work today to compare.

Looks like a fake based on a Brehmer design. The hinge are the ones typical for the GWL firm. So that's another incorrect thing about this badge. Couldn't agree more with Ralph on the casting part.
Regards, Tobias
Thank you for the first information and the time
Agree ...looks like a cast fake to me! Cheers, Dan
Not that I'm adding anything more to the discussion. But I agree with Ralph and the others. An obvious "cast" piece.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Sorry guys, the matter is settled, I was completely confused. I just found out the seller sent me the wrong badge. My artery has increased extremely ((( I will upload the new piece the days after I receive it. Thanks again for the effort......
Not that any further confirmation is really required but just to add weight of opinion, this is a "one look" casting of quite poor quality apart from the hardware inconsistencies already mentioned. So, what would be more of a concern to me is that the seller "accidentally" sent this rather than whatever he was supposed to send. If he is a dealer I would keep him at arms length in future!

Hello, I have now received the correct one. Also found out that it is a "Ball Hinge" piece. The only one with a ball joint. Very nice processing of the turret, but the details are far from coming close to the Juncker pieces. Non-ferrous metal,nickel silver maybe tombac? A whopping 41 grams. Thanks for the replies anyway..........
I can no longer see reality because of the many EK1 and EK2 and other badges))))))))))))))))))
