Salty PAB for your inspection. Rare Maker?

[AZartman]

Hello-

I ran across this PAB with a strange maker mark that I wanted to ask your opinions on. The condition is obviously not what I would like to see, but I seldom find these items so I'm thinking of making an offer and could use some assistance in ascertaining its originality as well as the maker background. It is a vet purchase.

Is it worth picking this piece up?

Thanks everyone..

Alex

Can you give us a blow up of the mark?

Sorry, I was still posting, here is a rubbing of the mark as it is hard to read. Thanks!

Nothing special there. This is a common maker.

Not quite what I was hoping for, Don

but I take it you think it is a legit item?

Any further info you can share with me about such a piece?

He is offering me this item and a salty eastern front medal w/o ribbon for $80. Is that too much?

Thanks!

Too common of an award to waste buying a salty one unless that is what you are in to.

O.K., maybe I'll pass on it. Thanks

Alex,

Type "Frank & Reif PAB" into the searchbox and you will see what they look like in good condition. No way you would still want that one.
