Luftwaffe Juncker 3rd Pattern Flak

[ERIC]

Hey Fellas,

Here's one new to the nest - an unmarked Juncker 3rd Pattern (zinc) Flak. This example has a navy style wide pin instead of the usual needle pin. This is only the third I've seen with this hardware, so I HAD to get her. She came cased as well. Anyone else have one with the wide pin hardware?

Hi Eric

First time I've seen a Flak with this hardware...Very nice!

After much discussion with fellow collectors, the general consensus was that "Schwerin" was the most likely supplier of parts to Juncker.

Another example of the collaboration between the two firms:

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! )

Nice catch, Eric! I would have been scared off by that unusual pin.

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