Hi,

Thanks!

I would say bad from the pics posted.

I belive the PAB to be a fake also.

I agree with on and Chet, that's not an original badge.

I concur

thanks for you replies! But why is it a fake?

[pvluger]

When You compare it to enough originals you will see that it lacks sharp detail in a major way. The tank looks really "wobly" like its going to fall apart, for lack of a better word and the grass is missing a tons of detail and looks like a blob as well.

Well couldn't that have been caused by corrosion?? It has been in the ground for about sixty years.

[pvluger]

As much corrosion as it appears to have, it would be enough to tarnish the detail in this fashion.

This badge does not match any known originals Jorne, so definitely not a PAB that I'd want in my collection.
