              Dear Jerry,

              Interesting, despite the smaller size it looks good to me. Your pics are still not very detailed but I cannot find any fault with it.

              Cheers, Frank

                  Dear Jerry,

                  No, haven´t heard about that ever. But the badge does not scream fake. I think your friend should hold on to it. Maybe some info will turm up one day. Maybe even a rare maker disregarded until now, who knows? If I take a look at my PABs, some vary considerably in size if you compare maker to maker e.g. Rudolf Karneth to Hermann Aurich.

                  Cheers, Frank

                    I'm with Frank--keep the badge. You can never tell (it has been 57+ years!) and the quality appears good. I have a FLAK badge that is a "minature" and appears to be the custom work of a jeweler. Many people would reject it as non-standard or flat out fake. It's too nice for me to give up and I always remember Great War Germany was once the land of the "prinzen" badge.

                    If your friend decides to get rid of it--let me know please!
