At last ... some local PABs

[Greg]

PAB pickings have been mighty slim around here lately, so I was happy to pick a couple of nice ones up at a local show this weekend.

First off a silver Aurich with dull finish ... a common badge, but I was upgrading.

Next, a bronze AS triangle ... again an upgrade (I didn't have one with the finish this good).

[Greg]

will need a little Zinkpest treatment on the back.

[Greg]

Then there's this thing ... it was buried among a bunch of IABs in a dealer's case.

[Greg]

It sure isn't as pretty as the other two, but for some reason I kind of like it better ...

[Greg]

... maybe this is the reason.

Which one do you-all like?


best,
Greg

Nice badges Greg

You should have left the .A.S and bought the IABs

I'm always amazed at how dealers pile crap into a case.
Great find!!!

Greg.
I can only wish that we had local shows such as yours.... The A.S. is outstanding. I am still looking for one of these.

What a great find Greg..you lucky SOB That .A.S PAB is one of those badges you think that you'll never own and it's in very nice condition too

Hi Greg,

Happy to see that you got lucky. Especialy the AS is a great find and your badge even has its original fragile catch in place

The finish is what you can expect to find on the silver zinker by this maker. Most of it evaporated leaving a coarse feeling surface behind.
