Those Badges seems to be a little rar - if you have one please feel free to show it!

A very nice "Berlin SW 68" marked 3rd pattern Flak Badge. A lot of Juncker Flak badges are often regarded as fakes due to poor production strikes, but this one is a crisp example..Juncker at its best.

This badge type can be found with both round wire as well as the flat wire catch that this badge has. The repair to the hinge pin only adds to the history of the piece, imo..... and wonderful that it remains in the family.

Thank you very much!  Yes im proud that this piece and a photo from my uncle are in my Hands. Those are the only things from him that survived the war. 

Yes you are right. Many of those self called "experts" told me that the badge is fake. Even weitze told me that the badge is fake - i just asked them because everyone told me its fake. 

But i know its was real. But never has the proof in my Hands. 

So i looked a long time for the "Flak Badges Book" and finaly got the pages who shown this badge. 

No worrys i never will sold it - buts its nice to show it those who called it a fake on. 

 

Sorry for the long Text

 

Greetings

As a point of interest, here is the same Juncker maker mark on their late Radio Operator/Air Gunner badge.

This one obtained from the family.
