John Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi Guys, This is my first FJ badge. It is quite heavy compared to other FJ badges, and has no makers mark. Can any one tell me about it? Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Arne S Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi ! Think we need a bit larger pics , and a pics of back even if it unmarked is of great help . Jan Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Temple-West Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Hi John,Yes, larger pictures would be a benefit in assessing the badge, but we can say that it has the characteristics of a 2nd pattern by C.E Juncker. These badges, as is the way with most TR collectables, have been copied and this is where the clear (obverse/reverse) photo?s come into play. Going on the photo supplied?. I would say that it?s okay, but let?s have a shot of the back just to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike K Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi John,I can only agree with John & Jan - a reverse pic is required - as is a bigger obverse pic imo. I can't see a notched swas so I was thinking Deumer but from what I can see of the wreath (especially the shape of the oak leaves) it matches neither Juncker or Deumer.RegardsMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Temple-West Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Well, looking at the reverse of this badge, I have some serious concerns.... Thickness of the wire used on the catch. The hinge looks close but would need to see some better pix.Rivets are not typical for Juncker, but again...better pix. Overall finish seems strange, almost like it's been artificially aged. Maker mark? Can?t make it out...better pix.If I were asked to buy this badge on these pictures alone, I would decline the offer. It?s one of those badges where I would err on the side of caution until seeing either better pix or have in hand for inspection.Time to get that camera working.

Neil B Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Don't know if this helps,but perhaps the maker mark looks a little unusual with the 'L' in Berlin failing to slant as I've observed in other Junckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil B Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) This one is from the Juncker in questionThe image is unclear close up,but it does seem to show a slightly different configuration to those pics posted above.

Can any one tell me about it? Thanks JohnJust wondering,is it the same badge as in post 1?(John states that the badge has no maker mark in the initial post).Not intending to nit-pick,just clarifying.Neil Edited January 25, 2006 by Neil B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
