Panzer Assault Badge in zinc

[ytarg]

Hi all,

I'ld like to show you my second PAB. Bought on ebay for 40 euros, shipping included ! It's a middle late war badge in zinc.

There's no marking. Dou you have an idea about the maker and its value ?

Thanks.

Regards.

The maker of your badge is unknown but it's called a third pattern seven wheeler by PAB collectors. These are fairly hard to find but in this condition I would say it would fall in the 150 to 200 euro catagory.

For 40 euros, it was a good deal!

[Bruce Simcox]

I would......

......Have to say that it falls into the 40 euro category.

Hermann Wernstein uses similar hardware on his WB's along with other variation for catch the'?' hook style....

Hi Chris

Could you post one that is similar, I only seem to recall the small block hinge and wide pin that wrapped around it for L/17 marked badges


Nice badge by the way. You might want to think about treating it with some vasoline as it looks a little dusty in places.

cheers

It is not mid war, but a very late war 7wheeler

At 40 euro not bad indeed.

Hi Graeme,

I don't have the same set up, i'm still looking...Although i have the hook variation for catch. I don't know how scarce is for others awards, i have seen also this set up on sport badges by Wernstein, but for WB's is rare....
Only two i have seen so far mine and another one in a German collection in silver grade...enjoy

PS: If you want some 3D shots let me know...

Thanks for posting Chris, great looking badge with set up I have not seen on L/17 wound.

I only recall seeing the Wernstein sports badges with the thick square wire catches, even though they might have similar hinges to what you have posted..I will have a search around when time...

thanks again
Graeme

Looks like a very late war badge with a value of around $75.00.
