Found, PAB's

[sturgis]

I have dug out the badges I bought many years ago.
Firts to post are two PABs.
All opinions welcome.

Hi Sturgis,

Both are well known fakes, sorry. Neither of these makers is known as a manufacturer of 1 grade PAB's.

Ouch!

[sturgis]

Ouch indeed ! . No problem though as I got them years ago for little money and almost forgot I had them...
What makes are they copied from and why do some dealers insist that the RS&S badges are original ??

why do some dealers insist that the RS&S badges are original ??

The intelligent ones: Because they sell them. The poor sods: Because they honestly do not know and should be in another business.
An honest, knowledgeable dealer will not try to sell you this badge.

RS&S fake is based on the Aurich obverse design. JFS design is fantasy, vaguely based on the ******220;******220;-design.
