PAB Bronze Wurster small "w" material?

[Gabor Tischler]

Hi guys,

Please help me a little! I have a Wurster PAB Bronze and I have a question.

How can I determine that the material is tombak or zinc?

My small "w" PAB weight is 38.50 gramm.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
Gabor

Hardware, looks like a good tombak small w wurster to me

Tombak one indeed.
A zinc material would be really different, you should see the pittings on the finish, but I am not sure that small w bronze wurster in zinc exists.

Thank you Chad & Hans!

Crisp details with this hardware only 1.2.2 tombak or 1.2.4 in zinc. Yours do like an early solid tombak grass pattern.

Hi Gabor,

I can only agree, a tombak example for sure.

Very nice and desirable PAB you have there, the only solid-backed badge to be made of tombak. Well done.

Hi Gabor

I agree that it looks tombak, with the typical tombak setup, and the weight is a good indication also.

Yours is a very nice example
