Wurster hollow PAB with square hook

[gt1234]

Hello
This is my last purchase. I have never seen square hook in Wurster badges. All of them have round hooks. Badge is not repaired.

What do You think about it?

Indeed, looks to be an original Wurster, but with a Deumer/GWL type of catch. Looks original to the badge and not a repair based on these pics, so its anyone's guess what its doing on this Wurster.

In Philippe's book the 1.2.3 on page 89 looks similar??? Or my old eyes are off?

Hi Grzegorz & Eddie......

......Quite interesting. Would you both be able to post images of the catch(from your respective badges of course), taken from the bottom of the badge looking up, with the pin open?

Hi Bruce,here is requested picture of the catch.

Hi Eddie.......

......Hi Eddie! Great pic. Thanks.

its anyone's guess what its doing on this Wurster.

I think that this image demonstrates why it is somewhat dangerous to base badge identification solely on hardware. I think that it clearly demonstrates that hardware was most likely supplied to many of the maufacturers by a third party. It should seem that hardware was supplied to some of them by the same third party. This is a bit more than a guess.
