Morning all! I never ventured into cloth really before so I though why not give it a try with this breast eagle. Here it is for your perusal and comments. Rich

Bruce When trying to price Juncker RK's you have to first brake it down to the various periods/markings. Is there a particular one you are looking for, eg: Neusilber frames /non-magnetic core '800' / magnetic core '800' + 'dot' '800' + 'L/12' '800' + 'lazy 2' '800' + 'upright 2' '800' + 'micro 2' There are not many Juncker RK's on the web at the moment but there is one on Helmut Weitze's website so you can see for yourself what the price is like. I can't think of anywhere else that has a Juncker Rk on sale at the moment. Rich

Yes, we talk in numbers! Centre is '1', right is '134' Rich

Very nice example Jan Arne! Careful Stijn, these things are highly addictive!! Rich

Stijn You are right about that observation. I noticed a similar thiing with a 1939 EK1 Spange I was selling. One time waster wanted extra pictures, etc and when everthing was supplied he decided to buy one from a dealer which was more expensive and in lesser condition. Unreal. Rich

Well there are 2 easy ways of telling if it's a '24'... 1) Check on the side of the little ring, quite often there is an additional mark there. Mine has 2 acorns. 2) Measure the size of the frame. '24' EK2 are slightly larger than standard and are referred to as 'wide frame'. Rich

Finally, the font style from the obverse of the packet. Rich

It's in very nice condition as you can see and I believe the cross and packet have always been together.

For your perusal and comments, this Paulmann & Crone EK2. The cross is unmarked but seems to compare favourably with other EK2 identified from this maker. This particular example is non-magnetic.

Martin Perhaps this maker used 2 cores? Maybe an early and a late version? Rich

Is it 24 with the lower portion missing?

Stijn There's just something about a nice DKiG with a little bit of wear... beautiful example!! Rich

I have no idea!

Paul Here's a close-up of the ticket. Rich

Sorry, really didn't do well with that first pic!

Hey you EK2 guys!! I have here what I believe are 2 '23' EK2's (well one is clearly marked as such). I have looked long and hard at the 2 and believe both are the same maker, even though there is a distinct difference in height in the '1813' and the core and frosting have very different finishes. Would you agree both are from the same maker?? Rich

Thanks, Jay!

Jay Sorry but it already looks comfortable next to my pin-back Rich

Yes, I know, this one isn't luftwaffe but is in the same theme... Rich

And with packet.

And lastly this one, I believe to be a Deumer.

Some more in: While unmarked, I believe this to be a Meybauer.

These ended within hours of each other. The highest I've ever seen for a 1914 EK1: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=013 Boy he wanted that badly! And the lowest I've seen: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...A:IT&ih=018 The two extremes! Rich

Scott I'm not seeing any Juncker characteristics on this one! Rich
