Amazing Luftwaffe FLAK badge medal award by C.E. Juncker, Berlin

Early Juncker Luftwaffe Flak Badge made out of nickel silver. The reverse of the badge is stamped with the manufacturers makers mark “C.E. Juncker, Berlin SW The Flak badge itself is made out of a material that collectors refer to as nickel silver or “buntmetall”. The badge was die struck, then neatly finished with hand filing on the edges. These file marks are still very evident upon closer inspection. A brass barrel tube was soldered in place on the reverse then a saw was used to cut the center area out to allow the tube the pin was attached to, to seat neatly in place. A pin was installed to fasten the two together and the hinge was complete. A simple brass wire was bent to form a “C” and then directly soldered to the reverse of the badge. The construction used on this badge is very characteristic of earlier Juncker produced badges. The badge was then finished with a darkened “altsilber” finish to give it the look of tarnished silver. This badge is in mint condition and cannot be upgraded. It would be a front and center example in any collection.

Historical Description: The Luftwaffe Flak Badge was instituted on 10th January, 1941. The original design, an Eagle clutching a swatika flying above a raised 88mm gun emplacement and surrounded by an oakleave wreath, is credited to Wilhelm Ernst Peekhaus, a famous German architect whose designs were favored by the German OKW and used for many other combat and qualification awards. The criteria for the awarding of the Luftwaffe Flak Badge was based upon a points system. Points were given for the downing of enemy aircraft and the assistance of the downing of aircraft by searchlight or spotting units. After accruing 16 points, the badge would be awarded. Both officers and enlisted personnel were eligible for the award.

German 1938 Commemorative Sudetenland Medal award in nice case

Instituted on 18 October 1938, the medal was awarded to participants in the occupations of Sudetenland in October 1938 and Czechoslovakia in March 1939.[2]

The medal was awarded to all German State officials and members of the German Wehrmacht and SS who entered the Sudetenland on 18 October 1938, and to Sudeten Nazis who had worked for union with Germany. Later a special bar for attachment to the ribbon was introduced for participation in the occupation of the remnants of Czechoslovakia on 15 March 1939, and to others who rendered valuable support. Last awarded on 31 December 1940, a total of 1,162,617 medals and 134,563 bars were bestowed.

The wearing of Nazi era awards was banned in 1945. The Sudetenland medal was not among those awards reauthorized for official wear by the Federal Republic of Germany in 1957.

Design
The medal was circular and similar in appearance as the Anschluss Medal, the reverse only differed in the date. It was designed by Professor Richard Klein. On the obverse a man holding the Nazi flag stands on a podium bearing the eagle emblem of the Third Reich. He assists a second man onto the podium, whose right arm bears a broken shackle. This symbolizes the joining of the area to the Reich. On the reverse is the inscription date "1. Oktober 1938" (1 October 1938). The date is surrounded with the words "Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer" (One People, One Nation, One Leader).

The medal was die-struck and high in detail, with a bronze finish. It was suspended from a striped black, red, black ribbon and white outer stripes, the colors of the Sudetenland.
