Kriegsmarine Juncker U-Boat Badge - More evidence ?

[Gordon Williamson]

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.

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 !.

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 .

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.

Mark

Nice collection of Mr. Saez, as always.
