Top row: This Radio operator/Air gunner badge is manufactured
by Juncker of Berlin. An early piece, undoubtedly pre-war, very fine and slim construction, with the
top of the swastika segmented. This badge is constructed of neusilber and of extremely high quality. This is known as the
1st pattern.
Bottom row: This Radio operator/Air gunner badge is manufactured
by Juncker of Berlin. An early piece, probably pre-war, very fine and slim construction, with the top
of the swastika segmented. This one is made from tombac and is referred to as the 2nd pattern.
Above: Another Juncker Radio Operator /Air Gunner badge but
this one is later and considered to be the 3rd pattern. The eagle and wreath are different from previous examples but the
hinge, catch and rivet style are the same. Also note the maker mark is the same as the 1st and 2nd patterns.
