Hello!

What do you think about this one? I personally have a good feeling about this one But I'm more into helmets so I need your opinion

I think this one is a well known copy. Better wait to buy it until you get some more informed comments from other members.

Sorry

Den, Marty is quite correct about this being a well known fake. Orginal Hermann Aurich PAB's have a different hinge and catch. The maker's mark is in a different location and the badge is not flat.

Hi Den,

Marty and Chet are of course right, one of the more common fakes.

This is how an original Aurich should look.

Hi Den,

One golden rule if your not 100% sure :

"NEVER BUY BEFORE POSTING IT HERE"

The advice you get here is absolutly free and will save you lots of money. Just think how many original badges you'll be able to buy with all the money you saved.

PS: Sadly this tip wasn't for free. I'll send you an invoice and my bankaccount number
