    Here are some air gunner badges for your viewing. Three are issue Juncker badges,tow marked ,one not but still Juncker. Three rivet construction on applied back plate,as it should be !! Fourth is IMO a 1920's/30's private purchase,silvered bronze. I will post some Bavarian badges next ( real ones !) .Ferg1.

    Wow, that is an amazing collection, best I've ever seen. Can't wait to see the Bavarians, as I used to have a very rare Pilot Badge that was engraved.

    Hi Alex, the badge on top left is an unmarked Juncker, 100% conforms to weight ,size and detail of the said maker. Interestingly, the eagle is cut out in a slightly different way to the other two,leaving slight excess material around certain areas of the edges. May actually a solid eagle and target as opposed to a hollow stamped one. This type of eagle profile is seen on unmarked Juncker airgunner badges both issue pieces and the rare silver two piece badges . I am entirely comfortable with it as a period piece.Ferg1.

    Sorry i mean the Badge on the right of the first row. I don't like this one.

    The left one is an period made badge.

    Ferg1, I believe he means bottom row, left hand badge. There are some distinct differences on this one from the other two in your first image. There is a seller in the US offering almost perfect copies of Prussian Air Gunner Badges. He thinks he's very clever. He offers only 4-5 a year thinking we will not notice. he also sells very high quality copies of other rare items of military badges and insignia. Both US & German.

    Almost forgot, I know Ferg1 is having some computer issues at the moment.

    I can only add a pair of Prussian Air Gunner Badges. One issue, one in silver.
