Sergey,
I see nothing wrong with the two PAB's. I'am sure others will give their opinions on the other two badges.

Hi Sergey,
You have two original PAB's ,,Flat back "
GAB looks like made by Frank & Reif.

Indeed two flatbacks and the minesweeper would be the equivalent of that as well. Could you post larger images of the GAB please?

I used to own a tombak GAB by the same maker that also had a bronze finish same as the one shown. Without a doubt a bronze finish applied over the base metal. This is only the 2nd one Ive seen. An anomaly certainly- perhaps a mistake or a silver wash still to be applied over the top (although that makes no sense to me unless its a zinc badge).

well all I can say is original tombak badge with a bronze finish exactly the same as the one I had, you can see where its worn down on the highpoints of bayonet and grenade, unusual badge and worth keeping, here is the one I once owned

ps the catch looks replaced, not right for this maker

I do not like the finish on the GAB. Try acetone on it. The fact that the finish appears to cover a catch repair is a bad sign IMO also..
