G.B. 25 in the mail today

[Frank Heukemes]

Dear Dennis,

A very nice collection! What are the setups on the PABs with the unusual finishes top row center and top row far right?

[Don D.]

Just what I need Dennis, more competition. Here I've been watching out for Robert and all along you have been sneaking up on me.
Nice collection.

Don, at least at the WAF you know the competion but I can assure you that our little club is just the top of the iceberg.

I suggest we stop buying the little buggers and start somekind of trading place where every PAB collector can offer his badges but in return can only get a missing PAB. No money involved anymore

I can feel your pain Don. It looks like Dennis was a “sleeper”.

This is actually a very interesting idea Philippe. More I think about it then more I like it.

Hi Dennis,

please can you post dimentions and weight of pab 25?
thanks

Hello again Dennis,

great pab collection you have

but I'm sorry my personal opinion unfortunately on 25 pab badge is not a war time . Many differences with knowns original , especially in obverse side, wreath-particularys on thank - eagle are the big points ....

Sleeper perhaps, I have been learning. I have tried to focus on PABs and EKs. I think Philippe DB’s idea is an excellent one. I will have to show the rest of what PABs I have.<O</O

Frank, here are the two badges you asked about. I think they are just Wursters. <O

Ivan, that is a concern that you do not think too much of the G.B. 25. I will get you the dimensions and weight as soon as I can.

Quick question here. I recently got in an exact styled badge as posted as the "focus piece" of this thread, and I was told it was bad, due mostly to the "wider" rivets. I have made a comparative picture, which I post below. It shows the rivets of the subject badge in question, along side the 25 posted for comparison in this thread. Note on the left, the rivets are "fatter" than the rivets on the right. I am by no means questioning the subject badge, as everyone obviously approves of it. However, if that one is real, then mine stands a good chance of being real. As I am not in the office, and can't post my badge, I'll just pose the question of the rivet difference as I have noted and ask if this difference is within manufacturer tolerance, or is a sign of something darker. Thanks in advance.
