PAB in Gold - What is this Referring to?

[dc9]

Hello All,

I have been researching some priest/chaplain prayers cards recently and found this one that clearly lists a Panzerkamfabzeichens in Gold. What is meant by this? Was it considered one of the numbered (25, 50, etc.) PABs? Or, was there actually a PAB in Gold? Also, if someone knows the meaning of "ROB," I would appreciate the translation.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi Eric. IMO just an error as there was no such thing as a PAB in Gold.

ROB means Reserve Offizier Bewerber - candidate for a reserve officers commission.

I agree with Stan!
Golden PAB was an error.
R.O.B. = Reserve-Offiziersbewerber.

ROB means Reserve Offizier Bewerber - candidate for a reserve officers commission.

Thank you, Stan and Stephan.

I understand that we all accept there was not a "gold," but, certainly they couldn't have confused "gold" with PAB in "silber". I wonder if hey meant to say "bronze" instead... or if gold was meant as a generic term to denote the higher order (numbered) awards... curious, guess we'll never know.

I would tend to agree it was a mistake on the card.
