Three-hole Gold APB - Original?

[RobertE]

This has a magnetic, wide-pin. Any opinions as to whether it's an original one?

Hi Robert

IMO a good one. Actually these are the most detailed of the 2 model BKA's. You only rarely see this type with the standard Juncker setup. A sideshoot like the one you posted but taken from the other side would be interesting. Also measurements in mm. it should be around 58,6 high.

I agree. A nice original.

Thomas and Jeff, I appreciate you looking it over. Here's the other side, and I'll measure it later tonight.

It looks like the badge measues 58.9 mm by about 49.4, if I'm at the tallest/widest point.

Hi Robert

The additional pics shows sheermarks/handfinising wich is an extra +

On the pin can you see the toolmarks forming two paralell lines vertical to the pin lenght?

Cheers Thomas
