ARTIFACT:
Beautiful WWI Prussian Observer badge. Unmarked, but made by Juncker in silver-plated Tomback. Badge depicts the enameled flag of the German tactical symbol for an Army Corps surrounded by oak leaves on one side and laurel leaves on the other joined together at the bottom in a bow, atop is a Prussian crown. The original center of this example (in silver-plated and enameled brass) appears to have come off and been reattached by a jeweler with solder, well repaired.
