Thanks Stewy - I'm curious about the outcome here - my Monster has been discussed here and on GCA, given the thumbs up. I don't have access to the fakes database there, so I can't compare right now, but even a year ago, when I received the PAB and posted it, people were aware of the Hero Copy (which mine was clearely stated not to be).
curious.... really curious....

to call a thing by its right name, I am "some" but not really nervous.
Like I said before, that finish is typical for hero fakes, and I´ve never seen an original silver S&L PAB with that type of finish. And IMO all original monster S&L PAB´s have the small hinge. BTW, the wide hinge baseplate on original S&L allways fits perfect in the frame, there is no space between plate and frame, the heros hinge is smaller.
On the picture below you can see a comparison between Rainer´s PAB and a hero fake (i will call it type 1)
1. the finish looks very equal
2. the track area is differnet to original S&L PAB´s (to even)
3. there is a damage on the left wing that you find on both pieces, but never on originalsAttached Files

More details that are identical on both badges. There is no question about it being a Hero fake IMO.Attached FilesRegards

Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).

Guys -
thanks a lot for the replies and study (Harry in particular) - I was happy with the PAB ever since I got it a year ago, and trusted in its authenticity - ouch, that stings!
That's it for me, no more TR collecting, I've had it....
What's the point in throwing cash out the window ****ing pieces of **** that turn out to be fake in the end anyway. I can never be comfortable again with ANY badge... This sucks badly...
