Hi Wayne,

That looks like a nice original ball-hinge zinc Flak Badge. Some say unmarked AS (for Adolf Scholze) but I've never seen one of these marked and I know other companies used the ball hinge.

The ball hinge type is my favorite also. It really beats Juncker in terms of quality.

Hello,

It is a 100% good zinc ball-hinge Flak badge. In my opinion, the early ball-hinge flak badge is the nicest made and probably one of the first types awarded. It can be easily spotted in early photos of men wearing the flak badge. You can keep the Junckers and Brehmers, I will take a ball-hinge anyday.
