    Yes..I apologize for the pics last night. I tried to get good pics, but the light reflection is what caused all the problems. In natural light you can see the spots where the black has worn off the front. There are still traces in the creases and deep spots.

    With the new photos I'm also leaning towards a very worn finish and not a repaint.
    Interesting discussion as well.

    With the addition of the new images i am now fairly sure i am looking at the tombak basemetal.

    The dark areas on the reverse are the remnants of the reverse finish, i think.I have seen various finishes on these Juncker's..Some have a dark finish applied to the reverse and some have no finish at all on the reverse.

    The bottom line is that it is still an original badge IMO.


    Here's one i have on file with a dark reverse finish applied.


    Cheers,Martin

    Yes. Debate resolved. A worn but original award.
    "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
