PAB Opinions, please help

[John Bart]

Hi all,
Please take a look at this badge and let me know what the verdict is.
I've always been somewhat suspect of it because of the "bubbling,"
however the detail looks pretty nice (might be hard to show in the photos).
I'm not at all an expert on these and would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
John

Nice looking original IMO. If you ever want to part with it let me know.

I agree...the piece looks correct.."bubbling" is okay on badges, it is good that the bubbling is on the reverse. John

Hi John,


Don is right thats a good RK PAB and the bubbling is a good signe on original zinc badges. It's just a result of a reaction between the zinc and the finish and not easy to fake.

....and always be careful not to create "rules" for beginners reading this. There are perfectly good example in zinc WITHOUT bubbling as well. It just SOMETIMES happens but it doesn´t have to.
