Panzer and General Assault Badges - Are the Real???

[dzyner]

Hi all! I'm looking for some opinions from the experts on this forum regarding whether or not these War Badge are authentic. I don't see any makers mark on the Panzer Badge, but there is definitely one on the General Assault Badge (although I do not recognize the maker).

Thoughts??








Thanks!

Wurster PAB is good, can't tell about the gab but looks good to me.

The GAB is a known fake, the Wurster PAB is an original with most of the finish missing.

GAB is an unknown maker #4, 1.21.5 in Frank's book.

GAB is an unknown maker #4, 1.21.5 in Frank's book.

I thought I read over on GCA that unknown maker #4 in Frank's book was found to be a fake. Or is there only one fake out of all the 1.21. variants?

Hi guys,

Both look fine to me, not much finish remaining on either though.

Mark, there may be a version of these GABs that are fake, and I think made by Staegemeir, but this one is not one of them IMO and perfectly original.
