PAB - 50'er GB

[Stepdale]

I forgot about this one. I hesitate to post it because so many repros are out there and people have many opinions. I bought this at a German flea market along with his EK1, EK2, Ostfront, and silver and black wound badges. It's late war and lost all finish, but I couldn't pass on it. Unfortunately I couldn't get a name with it.

The reverse. I can try better photos later if anyone wants them.

Hi mate. Nice PABs you have posted today ... however, I'm pretty sure that this one is bad.

Dale,
Is it because the badge looks on the salty side that you say late war? I find the term late war to be an common excuse for bad items. Mind you, this is not a condemnation of your piece. Better pictures would help but I am not keen on this badge.

Not genuine in my opinion.

Now I'm concerned. I had this blessed by many in Germany - late war zinc but original. No work tomorrow so I have time now to post better pictures, though my camera is not the best. Her goes and more to come.

#13. Last one for the night. I'm going to bed - probably have nightmares now. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate your opinions and I'd like to know what the general consensus is.
