    Panzer Assault Badges - opinions bitte!

    These are the first WH awards I ever bought, about 12 years ago. I'd like to hear your communal opinions on them!

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello,
    Sorry but the JFS is a big fake.
    Kind regards,

      Thanks guyver91. Can I assume you think the bronze is authentic?

      Cheers - Mike

        If you lighten up the pic it would help but I believe the second one is the "Two dot" fake.
        Check the fakes gallery and you will find both there.

          Thanks Don! I have treasured these for years... I guess the joke is on me.

          Wanna know where I got them?

          Tony Caliendo's shop (Wars of the World) back in the mid-90's. This was BEFORE it was general knowledge that he was a comple bastard con-artist.

          The interesting thing is now I am a dealer (mostly repros for the reenactor market) and I see Tony at the shows. He'll be at the one at Concord Plaza this month, so I plan to have a chat with him. My plan is to tell him the score and ask for my money back (I paid $65 each back then). That should be more than agreeable... I'm 6'3 and I have a terrible temper when provoked...

          Thanks again for the education everybody.

            is that a hairline crack on the JFS front? If so - is that that Repro Type's flaw or is it just that particular one?

              That is a flaw. A better give away is the eagle's head. Note the checkering that goes all the way up simulating feathers.

                Go get him MB and good luck to you let us know how it went, and don't let your temper get the better of you, don't want to hear you went to jail, three hots and a cot are not worth the value of the badges whether monitary or just principal
                Take care

                  Thanks Don, very helpful! - I think I saw the same checkering on another PAB just a few days ago... I'm searching for it right now....
