WH (KM) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' (or: auxiliary-cruiser war-badge) in 'Buntmetall' by: 'C.E. Juncker'
The very attractive - truly luxuriously-styled and actually very scarcely seen! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' (or: naval auxiliary-cruiser war-badge) is - I deem - a typical, early-war-period- and/or (typical) non-maker-marked, 'Buntmetall'-based example as was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'C.E. Juncker' as was based in the town of Berlin and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued albeit moderately worn- and/or used-), condition. The naval award - that was never part of a collection and that was recently found at a private-household in Germany - shows a seperately attached globe (which is executed in silver-toned, 'Buntmetall'-based metal as to be expected) that is firmly attached by means of a (fully intact and totally unaltered!) single-pieced rivet (as can be seen on the pictures). The award comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional and/or flute-shaped (silverish-toned) pin (which is of course fully functional) and has a totally unaltered (and period, copper-toned) catch ie. pin/catch set-up. The badge was most certainly never cleaned nor polished and simply comes as stored for decades: it shows some minimal tarnish and is still a tiny bit dirty (it has, however, with certainty never been cleaned nor polished though). The award is I deem a typical, 'Buntmetall'-based and non-maker-marked example that can unmistakenly be attributed to the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'C.E. Juncker'. Simply an attractive - early-war-period and fully untouched! - WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen' that is priced according to its comparative rarity and/or unmistaken desirability: I have seen similar examples for much more than my asking-price!
