Luftwaffe Help needed please

[2xvetran]

Here is a solid Luftwaffe Flak badge with a broken pin retainer. I am having trouble trying to mahe out the maker mark but it does appear to say Berlin... I can't be sure of what is before that. It is bent back towards the top but otherwise a very nice badge. I would very much like a valuation and an authentication if possible, but any help would be appreciated. Scott.

Hello, someone, anyone, words of wisdom? Criticism? Anything would help.... Scott.

No problems with that one, Scott.

Maker mark is C.E Juncker - Berlin SW

Hi Scott,

thanks to the wife for the additional pic's.

As John mentioned,it is a good original badge.

Luftwaffe,is not my area but i think this badge is what is reffered to as a Juncker 2nd pattern?

Correct me if i am wrong.

Regards,Martin.

Hi guys,

I can only agree, a fine original Juncker. Too bad about the missing catch though.

Looks as if the top of the badge/the wings are bent. Am I right?

The top of the badge is bent back, not specifically the wings. It almost looks like someone tried to bend it to remove the Luftwaffe eagle... Scott.
