Gordon Williamson Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I've always been happy in my own mind that this style of badge was produced by Juncker, despite the existence of other examples of the type with spurious Steinhauer and Schwerin markings.Helmut Weitze's recent updarte included a beautiful screwback example.Strangely enough, it is believed the only manufacturer of factory made screwback Luftwaffe badges was -- Juncker.

Gordon Williamson Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 From the collection of Fran?ois Saez, three Juncker made Luftwaffe screwback badges. Apart from the use of a more appropriate larger oval plate, the same style of fitting as the U-Boat Badge !. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Arne S Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi Gordon !Yupp ! Saw that Badge under Weitze`s update . Think this is the first screwback U-Boot Badge I ever seen . Looks like the screws also match the Juncker LW screwbacks . Jan Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmiller Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Gordon,You convinced me long ago of the Juncker connection. I posted this one many Forums ago, and still believe it supports the theory. The hinge and pins on the UBOOT match both Juncker EK Clasps, one marked L/12.Regards,MarkNice collection of Mr. Saez, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
