PAB thoughts. Unmarked and solid back

[AZartman]

This is an item my uncle gave to me when I was a kid and I had totally forgotten about it until I was going through some old things. Well, I'm not very familiar with these, but I have my doubts that I would be so lucky as to have a good one. So I'm putting it up here for all to see and to find out what I have. Thanks everyone!

Hello,

The details aren't there for a F&R to me, but I will wait to get proved wrong.

Looks cast, though the hinge and repaired catch could be decent.

I think it is a fake from what I've seen so far. Can you give us a side shot of the hinge.

Definately fake. The hinge is cast as part of the badge.

Thanks for clearing that up! Alex

Here I go out on a limb, but I think the catch was replaced and some solder added around the hinge. I say good and it has had some ruff treatment. Under the gun does look not as clean as I should think. I will go with good one.

Dennis, that hinge is cast of the same material as the badge. It does not have a seperate pin running through it to hold the attachment pin in place. The only rough treatment would be to your wallet area with this one.

There is a seperate pin. I have tried to photograph it for what it is worth. Thanks
