OK, I will open up the can of worms - how do we KNOW that the AS in triangle logo is the Adolf Scholze company of Grünwald? Yes, like most I have always called this the Scholze company, but there is at least one other possibility. No, I'm not saying that AS in triangle is A.D. Schwerdt, but has anyone seen a period advertisement or something else that shows the logo definitely associated with Scholze?

Or maybe one of our German members ought to just ask them, assuming this is the descendant firm of the 1940s company...

Hi guys,

Maybe I am not looking hard enough, but where is the grass pattern #62 any different from the third one in #61?

[Jan Arne S]

Von Luger ! That was a well qualified guess .

Yupp ! I got the Silver Hollow AS from Carsten Baldes . Got a email from Carsten saying that he had got 7 orders of that PAB till 16.00 local time .
That would be my first hollow AS PAB , when badge arrive.

Dear Frank,
here is full explanation from Philippe<o =""></o>:

After just posting both of them I took a closer look and the differences I think I saw are just the result of the different base material used in the production of these badges.

So not 5 but only 4 grass patterns and the hollow .A.S and A.S. and the scooped A.S. for sure were made by one and the same maker using two different obverse dies.
