Just got this piece in the mail. Not the best one, the swaatika has been touched (not denazified) but for 30e...

Hello,
it's an original Juncker so colled as (Slim Stalk)
Good catch

Here another Juncker badge in zinc

Here are some better pics, shame the swastika has been fiddled with. Bought it off an online auction with bad pics (probably why only a few people bidded).

Too bad about the damage , but it's not as destructively done as on some denazified badges .

[fischer]

It appears someone probably was trying to "cut-out" the swazy to give the impression of the earlier tombak ISA examples.
This is unfortunate as collect-ability of this example is nonexistent.

In regards to the maker, this example is still unknown with collectors referring to it as the Slim Stalk.
Attribution to the firm of Juncker is purely speculation at this point.

Best Regards, fischer

The way I look at damaged or denazified items is they are collectable as beginner or first example . Not as a big value item but as a better then nothing example . Just my thoughts , I'd love to have only mint examples , unfortunately I can't afford to .
