................and here's the back of an actual Unqualified version. ERIC

Hi Karsten, To start off with, yes, I agree, it is definately a Juncker. To determine if it was an Unqualified/Qualified version, it must be looked at in hand IMO. Much too difficult to tell from just pics on this one. I have a pic archived of a Juncker 'Gunner with the same exact hinge as your pictured version, but a normal catch/catchplate of Juncker. At least here's half of what you're looking for. ERIC

I'm afraid I don't! - sorry I can't be of further assistance here! ERIC

How awkward that must have been for a pilot to fly! Imagine looking over and seeing your whole craft to the left of you, and to the right only sky?! ERIC

Great cap woodeye! An excellent addition to your collection! I'm with Paul on this one - don't touch it! I would be afraid to treat it as well. ERIC

A little late Rick, but I would say 'good' as well IMO. ERIC

A Superb example Karsten - Congrats! ERIC

Thanks Kevin! I like "abnormal" original badges!! (I'm told that I'm abnormal, so it figures! ) ERIC

Hey Bill, Thanks my friend! What am I missing? PLENTY, believe me!! Gotta have 'em all man! I still remember a certain zinc Juncker ROAG you have that I wouldn't mind adding! ERIC

Well, coming from a man with many exquisite pieces himself, that truly is a top notch "kudos"! Danke Bob! It was my pleasure! ERIC

That's two more than me! Great visors Bob! ERIC

You never know Kev, you never know! A very good possibility seeing as though you have your lucky streak going! Mr. Lyons, what a sweet 'pokal! Love it as well! I take it those are photos of the recipient? ERIC

Thanks so very much Martin, may I say I was very happy to do so! Welcome to GMIC! ERIC

See that! I won't say it................. Yes I will - "told you so!" A hearty CONGRATULATIONS Kev! That was pretty awesome for that fellow to send it to you free of charge! I think it's so cool how it all came together for you my friend!! ERIC

Appreciate the helpful info Gary! ERIC

My pleasure Fran?ois! (many thanks as well Nesredep !) ERIC

Excellent information and reasearch Snoop - thanks and nice job! ERIC

Hi Snoopy, Is there any evidence at all as to the identites of those killed in the crash? Do any records of the accident exist to your knowledge? ERIC

Hello Fran?ois, Yes, very obvious fingerprints on the eagle. ERIC

Danke Vielmals Johann! So, what kind of fishies is Mrs. Temple-West cooking up? Can't wait for my certificate to arrive - suitable for framing, right? Ah, err,......2k? I hope there's a payment plan?! ERIC

Cheers Kev!

Many thanks my friends! ERIC

Wow - the quality of these is really something else!

Well guys, I finally made the "Club"! ERIC

Thanks Johann! I remember discussing the Schwerin / Juncker connection a couple of times with others too. The Schwerin firm, I believe, is the likely supplier IMO as well. (Sexy Juncker GCB! ) ERIC
