PAB silver hollow value?

[Gran Sasso]

Being forced to sell some items to raise money for another item. Not sure at the moment if this has to go, too - so wanna find out its value first. thanks for any reply.

As you might know my knowledge about medals is very basic...

[Gran Sasso]

Reverse - any chance to find out the maker?

Looks like a buntmetall BH Mayer/F&R to me Gran...as far as value I'm sure you could get 250.00 or more for it. Hope this helps..Dan

Hi Gran Sasso,
Looks to me like a very nice B.H. Mayer to me. 300 euro + or - I would guess.

I agree. Llooks like a buntmetal B.H. Mayer and in this condition I would price it around $300 - $350 USD

Nice badge

Thanks a lot to all of you for the info! Been asked to show a close-up of the hinge - so here it is.

[Panzer Rob]

I believe the angled corners on the hinge (such as this one) is a trait unique to badges produced by BH Mayer. Please correct me if I am wrong

Rob your right I just went through this evaluating a PAB, the BH Mayer is very close to the Frank & Reif (mine was a F&R). The Mayer has the angled corners the F&R has a straight edge to the hinge.

man if your quoting 300-350 for that my mint one must be worth 500

Well, as you know an item is only "worth" what someone is willing to pay, and if some fool wants to pay $500 for one, I'll gladly sell mine for that much I haven't seen a near mint tombak silver PAB sell here for under $300 in a long time...

I'm with you though. I can't understand how PAB prices continue to rise, and so rapidly. I'm glad I have examples of most of the specific makers I am looking for, because if prices keep rising I simply won't buy any more. It's really getting out of control. $580/600 for a bronze zinc Assman PAB? Uhhh, no thanks. I can live without one!

Price

If you guys have buntmetal PABs for sale for $300 USD please contact me. Zink PABs for $ 600 USD? I have not seen any of them yet. Perhaps interest in PABs will lighten up now that several enthusiasts have left the forum. But I think not.
Good hunting to you all,
Dennis

This is the main reason why I'm not really collecting badges any more. I just personally find it hard to pay $300 for something that I found all the time at shows or flea markets for DM100 ($45) six years ago when I lived in Germany. I know, I know - supply and demand, and I don't seem to have a problem paying double what I did for gas three years ago, etc etc. It just takes a lot of the fun out of it. Maybe I just can't teach this old dog new tricks!

Best,
Greg
