Hi,

IMO your F&R PAB is a fake and perhaps the IAB, too.

Best regards,
Gabor

Yes the PAB is most certainly a fake...

I agree this PAB is fake,but the IAB looks like original Mayer in zinc.

Hi guys,

Both fakes IMO. The PAB is the common, "Toucan" fake that we all see at the militaria shows. The IAB is also a fake, it is similar to BH Mayers, but different details if you study the obverse closely. I think these are made by Staegemeir.

Chad and Chris should remember this type from the SOS
