mark

Hi, Thought i would post some pictures of my Junker tank badge,"probably" made interwar period,though open to conjecture. My only concern is the Junkers mark has a top to the "j" The badge is beautifully constructed with a rayed back ,note no dodgy crown and crecent marks. It is hollow and constructed from tombac with silver plate. Originally acquired many years ago from a family in France, no further details or documentation to confirm originality.Though holding it and studying it under high magnification it appears totally period ie 1921/1939 (only my own humble opinion for what its worth) Some may like it,some may not,personally i do ,either way heres the pictures..and always interested to hear negative and positive comments . Best wishes Steve

Hi, In my opinion ,others may disagree but I can not see a major problem here ,its been saved from possible destruction ! How many US soldiers mailed captured items back home during WW2 ?? Yet again these items will form part of history and in years to come will be appreciated as such. regards steve
