Why is the badge shiney? Has it been coated with something or does the metal feel slick to the touch? I'll post an example for you to compare the reverse setup to since your pics are so dark. At best I would say a good one with perhaps a repaired catch. I cannot see the hinge crimp to tell if it is good or not.

I agree with Don here..looks like the catch was repaired at some time but the badge is an original for sure.

thank you for the positiv answers.The badge is a little bit shiny because I
put vaseline on it.I will try to make better pictures from the Needle system.

That is what I thought you did. Just wanted to confirm it because there are fakes out there made of a shiny base metal. Thanks for showing us your PAB.
