Bob Hunter Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Too late Jan Arne! After a rather laborious journey it has a nice new home (and case) in the UK.Just to help make my point here is an early Juncker for comparison with a field repaired catch.

J Temple-West Posted July 12, 2005 Author Posted July 12, 2005 Here's one that landed on the doorstep recently..An early wartime tombak piece. The short barrel hinge is of the type found on pre-war 1st pattern badges.This example has the owner's name and number scratched on the reverse of the eagle.. ' W Hirte 97'
J Temple-West Posted July 14, 2005 Author Posted July 14, 2005 Hi Larry,Any chance of posting some larger pix? Going on the pix we have, it appears to be a classic piece. B&NL only produced Para badges with zinc wreaths, this confirmed by the reverse setup, recessed catch and small hinge. However, examples can be found with eagles in gilded tombak and yours may well be one of those.
Larry Lipps Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Perhaps I should have clarified that only the eagle is tombak. Hopefully these photos will help.
Larry Lipps Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 And the reverse. At some point it appears that the original owner attempted to remove his name from the reverse of the eagle.
