Could I get an opinion on this Machine Gunner Badge.

Would like to add an original to the collection but I have heard there's a lot of reproductions of this badge.

Thanks,

Matt

Ok, so I will share a bit what I know. The Juncker marked badges are a minefield. Most are flooded with forgeries. I believe that the details around the bullets, and the "grips of death" make me doubt this badge.
This is just my humble opinion. There is a great thread that is very in-depth. Lots of good examples and theories.

I know nothing about these but my first reaction to your photo was …artificially aged. Again a first impression from years of looking at faked brass haube fittings.
