Just a couple of points on the pin. Its not exactly like Franks...there are a few differences.

1) the knurling on the pin is different than the "50" in Frank's book.

2) the mm L/16 in Frank's book has the pin attached directly to the badge without a plate (as seen on the one in this thread). Frank's mini is a regular GAB, not a "50" tho. With that in mind, the reverse of Frank's "50" is not shown.

These things don't discount this mini, I just wanted to point out differences. I would like to also take the quote from Frank on this type of mini -
"These are very rare, because of the institution of the grade III GAB in late June 1943, and the omission of the 16mm miniatures in early July 1943, leave a time line of less than a month. Probably, stocks were just sold off but possibly these miniatures never found their way in to stores."
