PAB - Is this one real?

[emilitaria_usmc]

Bronze plated zinc, 61x42 mm, 27.2 gm, bronze plated hardware, recessed catch plate, nicely vaulted

[inimicus]

looks pretty nice and real.
about the brass pin: I also like it and don't guess forgers would use one 'less they
wanted to throw us off; but then fakers usually make a lot more than one piece and so more would be in circulation and cause suspicion. and tho no great expert I don't recall encountering any...
plus, dribbling the 'brassies' out a few at a time would be a long wait for the payback! (of course
we have our own ideas about 'payback' for these wankers and don't think ours should be long at all!)
I'd also like to hear experts' views.

Looks pretty good to me..

Don't think I have ever seen this type with such a recessed catch plate.
