Just purchased a small collection that included some PABs. Just wanted to get them checked here before listing them. Any comments on originality, makers or pricing are appreciated.
Thanks, Doug

I don't like the S&L PAB, with this round wire catch, IMO fake.Comment

Which S&L PAB, If you refer to number 2, that is not considered S&L, but unknown.

I agree, it does looks strange. Not the normal set up seen on these and what appears to be a pitted reverse.
The AS imo has had a catch repair

I'm not a big fan of the RRS either, can you post some close ups of the hardware please?
The Juncker set up PAB is indeed no good.
And the hollow AS is a rare badge but the catch is repaired (as often with these)Kind regards,

I can second that on the second Pab shown. It is trying to be an S&L but the hardware setup on it is wrong and has a very rounded look to it. I would pass on this one to be honest.Comment

It is not trying to be an S&L design, It appears to be a copy of an unknown maker. Check out the reverse profile if you are still not sure.

Hi guys,
That PAB is a copy of the Unknown Maker #1 in Phil DeBock's PAB book, page 216. Its not trying to be an S&L, they just happen to have similar designs.
But ultimately I agree that its a cast fake.
