ERIC Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi Guys, Here is an unmarked Luft Ground Combat Badge that I recently acquired and I am seeking opinions as to who the manufacturer might be. I bought it on the assumption that it is of Juncker origin, but I would like to have some other collectors' thoughts to solidify my belief. I know that the Juncker GCB is a tough nut to come by, so additional thoughts on this one would be quite appreciated. This is the first I've come across that has the alternate style catch/baseplate for zinc Junckers' rather than the long oval style catch/baseplate that one is accustomed to seeing on the late Junckers - everything else looks quite "normal". The eagle is definately buntmetall and is attached by a small rivit. She weighs in at 26.3 grams.

Larry Lipps Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I'd have to lean toward Juncker as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I can find absolutely nothing wrong with this piece, Eric. As to the round catch-plate... although uncommon for use with the LGCB, quite a common sight on other ?Juncker? badges. Nice piece, nice find.
