AWS 1942 PAB, opinions needed

[Den]

Hi Guys, I know there are a few fakes around from this badge, personally I don't like it, the finnish on the reverse seems very rough, am I right here.

Hi Den,
IMO it is fake. Sorry...

[Don D.]

Yep, a fake.

This must have been one of the earlier attempts to fake this PAB. I know that I have seen better fakes of an AWS 42. On the later versions they did a better job on the hinge and catch. Plus the reverse is nowhere near as rough as the one pictured by Den.

Thanks Guys, you have confirmed my suspicions, I have seen better ones also.

Hi Den......

......that looks just like one of the dozens that Manions used to offer(almost simultaneously) about 4-5 yrs. back.
