Looks like a repair to the lower catch.

Can you post a good oblique shot of the catch?

More pics as requested. This badge has some "heft" to it.

Where did you acquire this badge?

[Patio]

Don,

I purchased this medal from a good friend (to this day) about 20 yrs ago. He said it was a vet purchase. I have owned a fake Souval bronze PAB and there is no comparison. This badge is much heavier. I will post length and width measurements along with the badge mass tomorrow.

Regards,
Pat

Can you show a good straight-on view of the head?

Thanks,
Greg

[Patio]

Yes, I will.

I feel your RRS PAB is good. Not an easy one to find.

I think this is a good PAB. The catch has come off and been resoldered, on top of the crimping area.

Best,
Greg

The more I look at it, it is not the same fake pictured in the link that i previously posted

[Don D.]

Sounds like things worked out for the best then. Congrats.
