Pab and Iab opinions

[anguspm]

Hi guys,

I've got a shot at a small lot of badges to rebuild my collection with at a fair price but although I'm happy with the rest these two have been bugging me.

Could someone pls give me a quick yay or nay?

Many thanks in advance.

regards,

Angus

and the Iab:

IAB I like, panzer is a tough call as some of the repros look like this as do some of the originals...panzer does have honest color and age patterns though, John

Hi Angus,

I completely agree with John, The IAB is ok and was last discussed in this thread

The PAB is something of an enigma. Some people think this badge is ok and besides FLL the only known Flatback PAB, others think it's a copy. it's really amazing to see how many of these PAB's are poping up lately.

Hit the nail on the head there Philippe. Its been the numbers of them recently that has got me thinking something may not be right. I think I'll go with the IAB at 55€ as that seems a good price and my initial thought was that it was good.

Many thanks to you both.

Regards,

Angus

Hi Angus,

I'm preparing a little thread on this PAB and post it tonight.
