Good morning, Joe...

Very nice to see your sets...you certainly have an eye for quality. I only have one cased example, being the Juncker 3rd pattern wreath/2nd pattern eagle... I only wish I had cases for the rest.... but at today's prices!

Your "Juncker J2 in case tombac with a pilot badge wreath" has to be one of my favourites, something I've been looking for years.

Looking forward to seeing more of your collection.

Wow! You guys have some wonderful badges... all I have for a Fj is a zinker.

Good evening John and guys,

thanks for the kind words to my display!

I think you will find a Juncker J2 with a Pilot Badge wreath in the future John!

Kind Regards

Joe

Hello John and Joe,

Beautiful Paratrooper Badges. Thanks for showing them. This might sound crazy, but the one I like the most is that Berg & Nolte, with the dark zinc wreath and gilded tombak eagle. That shade of gold is terrific and I really like the Paratroop Badges that have darkened wreaths. Seeing these badges makes me want to pull out my Paratroop Badges. Maybe I will take some pictures and post them one of these days. Don't worry, though! I can't compete with those wonderful Buntmetall examples.

Best regards,

Tom

I upgraded my nice 2nd pattern Deumer for this J2 Para badge last month. It came as part of a "Kreta" group and the recipient (a medic) has nicely engraved his details on the reverse.
