For those who consider Deumer parts badges to be of a higher quality than those from Juncker.

Unlike the majority of Deumer marked badges which were produced with parts supplied by C.E Juncker, this is one of those early all Deumer parts pieces.

The materials used;

Wreath: Nickel Silver.

Eagle: Brass.

Hi JTW,

That's a fantastic early Deumer you've managed to find there - my congratulations!

I've only seen two or three with the silver nickle wreath!! Can you supply a weight please?!

The weight comes in at 38.7g.

I?m not sure if this is contributing much to this conversation, but here is another Deumer/Junker para badges. Here is one with the Junker clipped toe eagle. The badge has a blackened/burnished wreath, brass eagle, and is heaviest para badge I?ve owned. Sorry, I don?t have the weight on it! Sorry for the bad photos!

Cheers,

James
