Don, I agree that this badge is quite flat in terms of obverse details, but it doesn't look quite soft enough to be a cast fake. I have "the book" and I have handled a couple of these that are owned by Chris Garbis. That's the extent of my "expertise" in this area.

Nice back side Jeff! LOL! If I were looking for a PAB I would have no problem with Calvins and price seems reasonable at that.

Hi guys,
I like what I see on Calvin's PAB. EWE's did have a lot of file marks, but not all of them were like that and I think there were one or two in Phil's book that don't show much file marks at all. I think this was up to the individual worker. The rest of the hardware and details look spot-on on the PAB in question IMO.
Some dimensions might help put some minds at ease, but I think they would only confirm this is an original EWE.

I am with Tom, if we have dimensions and a weight we can put this one to bedComment

I own 2 EWE's so I think I can give my 2 cents. I have no issues with this EWE at all. I think it really isnt in all that great of conditions so that may put off a few others. As far as I am concered its a good one.
Regards,
