Gordon Williamson Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Carrying on from the earlier general thread on KM Badges, lets look at some in more specific detail.Here's the Juncker Auxiliary Cruiser, often described as an unmarked Schwerin but although the two makers are similar there are several subtle differences.

Gordon Williamson Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Very nice Dave. Top is a Juncker and the right hand one is an unmarked Foerster & Barth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 You two have some really good items in your collections, of all the TR awards and badges I like I think the KM badges have to be my favourites. Probably because they are more affordable than Luftwaffe badges. I don't have any though.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave B Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 The prices for KM badges are not that far behind Luftwaffe ones,although I must admit Lufty badges are extremely expensive!Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darrell Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Hi Gordon,This is one I've had for a while. While there are similarities between this one and the Souval you show above ... the wreath doesnt quite have the same shape as can be seen from the reverse.Comments?

Gordon Williamson Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Darrell,I'd still go with it probably being an unmarked Souval. Have a close look at the details on the globe. This is where you find lots of subtle little differences between makers, but yours seems to be a dead match for Souval. The outline "silhouette" view can change depending on the amount of finishing work that has been done to the stamping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I firmly believe that this is one of the most striking of all WW2 German Badges. One of my absolute favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) Here is a couple of closeups of my unmarked Souval. The Globe land parts are in fact pebbled. It also lacks a square guide (behind the hinge) usually seen on Souval pieces :food-smiley-004: Edited June 19, 2005 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darrell Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) I just noticed something else ... it appears to have marks that run across the reverse angled from lower right to upper left from top to bottom on the badge. I've seen this on some IABs before as well. Does this mean anything significant guys?Look closely around where I made those lovely yellow lines Edited June 18, 2005 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Just curious, if anyone else thought US Dealer Bill Shea's price of $1500 USD for one of these (unmarked Juncker, near mint) was over the top. Seems not that long ago I was selling near mint & boxed examples for about half that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
