Difficult to tell with the heavy patina, but it could very well Be a silver grade. A few small glimpses of the under layer seem to hint at silver.

It's a nice early Juncker.The rear set up is typical for the type, and the badge will be a silver grade as the bronze grade came out later, and only in zinc with a corresponding different reverse set up. Don't be tempted to clean it, it'll kill the value. After 70 odd years of getting to that patina, it is what it is and I bet you can still smell the gunpowder on it, lol!
I would like to see it with the pin closed, full shot and also sideways on, focussed helps lol,concentrate on the wire where it fits around the hinge, it should normally have a noticeable bend around the retaining pin.

Very nice early Junker NS 1.1.1 in the book. Superb patina please do not clean it you would remove its history and decrease its value to collectors.
It is just as I thought, an original NS Juncker with likely a replaced pin.
Sorry for not replying on GHW2 but the last time I checked, you had not posted the new photos.

My thoughts to that possibility as well, always best to check.by rbminis

Knew I saw this somewhere...

Same pics? Or any showing clear shots of the hardware?
