PAB silver and bronze versions

[Peter Wiking]

PAB silver and bronze versions. Badges and needles are non magnetic. The bronze needle catch is repaired at some point.

I´m confused over all the PAB´s there is. What do you think of these PAB´s ?

Thanks.

Peter, there's nothing to be confused about. These two PAB's are fakes. They are copies of the hollowback type of Frank & Reif PAB. This type of fake has been discussed in depth before.

Hi Peter,


Stay away from those two. Just another variant of the "Blob" fake

Hi Peter !

My advice is to stay away from these Phollow PAB`s .
There could be original PAB`s with this "blob" , but I dont know how to separate an original from a fake . This fake is made with a lot of different hinge and catches .

Hi Peter !
Thats not an Frank & Reif , but that Hollow PAB is original . Not so good to se on pics but this can either be Karl Wurster or it can be a hollow Fritz Zimmermann .

Jan Arne

Search for a thread for loong time ago , ther is some pics of one posted by Tony Barto . That hollow one came from Detlev .

[Frank Heukemes]

Wurster it is!

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hording thousands of PABs and leaving a "maybe" here!

I read about the Viking Hordes when I was a kid, now I know what that is!

Cheers, Frank
