J Temple-West Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 A few new pieces have been coming in and seeing that the school holidays are over, bringing peace once again to the household, I have some time to get around to doing some photography.So, first up.... a classic by 'C.E Juncker' in the form of their 1st pattern Pilot's badge. This one has the cut-out between the eagle's legs, giving it a more 3D effect than the version without the cut-out... comparison to follow.

Bob Hunter Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 There were only two makers of pilot badges---Juncker and everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted September 14, 2005 Author Share Posted September 14, 2005 Ah ha! The old ?Juncker? Vs the rest debate? As far as pilot?s badges are concerned, I wouldn?t disagree, although I still think that, in their own ways, Juncker & Assmann are on a par. When it comes to a series, however, my preference is squarely behind the name of Assmann?design, construction, finishing and the pure iconography of their pieces still gives me that extra bit of pleasure, especially the early pieces.

Stijn David Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi john, It was a pleasure to see this one go into very good hands I have no problem at all when you call me up for the glider stuff => i am just addicted and thrilled iff i hear the word Cordial greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hunter Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I love the early pieces too. Still, my Juncker preference is only an opinion. Early Assmans make a strong statement on their own but when it comes to para badges it's different story---Deumer hands down. Again, just an opinion based on a quality coparison of early badges. Don't throw your Juncker paras in the trash based on my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin taylor Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 As I've been out of the game for a while, I must say I'd forgotten just how wonderful Juncker Pilot and Observers are, especially the early ones. Although I do think that my personal favourite is the Juncker Para.Apologies for straying a little and pardon my ignorance but on the subject of Gliders, did Deumer make these. I knocked back a Deumer Glider the other year as I thought the catch was too clunky and the ends of the wreath tips were just too far apart. With hindsight I think that may have been a rash decision but just to put my mind to rest, I'd like to ask for your thoughts.Any views? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Welcome, Isonzo.. That 2nd pattern Pilot/Observer is a very nice badge to start with. I would very much like to see the badge that sits next to it... that's just my way of saying...show us more! Any chance of some reverse pictures of the 'Assmann' Ob's badges?
