Thoughts on this Wiedmann PAB badge would be greatly appreciated. The badge itself is not magnetic; however, the pin and catch assembly are. Also, pin is sharp (point) at end. Please let me know if you need additional photos. And, thank you !!

Hi Niche,
Firstly, this is a GAB, not a PAB
Looks like a nice original Weidmann in my opinion. Typical 1-cutout wing and looks to be typical hardware. Magnetic is a bit of surprise because Frank mentions the hardware as "tombak", which is really just brass. HOwever, brass is non-magnetic. Your hardware is steel and looks fine though and Weidmann definately used steel hardware on their IABs, so no worries IMO.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

Interestingly enough these were initially called pionier-sturmabzeichen. You will occassionaly see them referenced as such in some documents.
This particular badge looks fine, IMO.-Calvin Hall, repressed Appalachian American.

Wonderful news !! And thank you all. Funny thing is that it's still pretty early in the morning for me and I can't believe I put PAB instead of GAB. I think I stayed up a bit too late last night watching the Olympics.
Again, my thanks.Comment
