[kale010]

This is my first PAB. I bought it a while ago. In my opinion it's a nice one. Could anyone tell me more about this one....

I've noticed it, for example: the edges around the tank and the grass benieth the tank. Am i wright on that one?

Kale,
Everything is wrong. As Jeff mentioned it is not the correct design for a F&R PAB. Nothing matches up.

Is this a barbell fake?

I don't know that this type of fake has an "official name," though it does have barbell tracks. The "blob" also has barbell tracks, but this is not the "blob."

kale010 - what William is talking about - see the ends of the tracks (where the heads of the track pins are on a real tank). Authentic PAB designs differ on the apperance of the ends of the track pins, but good ones aren't enlarged like this so to give a "barbell" appearance.

Serach the Badges Fake Gallery http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...splay.php?f=72 and you'll see more "barbells."

Best,
Greg

Greg, I've noticed the difference. Thanks for the advice.
