Who is the maker of this PAB?

thanks frank. the blackening is solder. the badge is not painted as i can tell and seems to be made out of a light metal plate, not sure what but a bit like tin if that makes sence...chris

Dear Chris,

My example from this maker is made of zinc, which is quite unusual for a first type wound badge and the reason why I asked. My black one was only finished on the obverse, the reverse is the actual zinc colour. It is the reson which made me wonder why they apparently saved finish on the black ones while fully finishing the silver ones.

Thanks for that offer, Chris, but I couldn´t do anything you can´t do right now. I would also not be able to find out about the metal without scratching if you can´t. And one thing is for sure, your wound badge is an original, so nothing to really worry about. I just wish we would receive a clue who this maker of WBs, PABs....(what else?) is.
