Silver PAB

Since badges haven't been going my way lately, I figured I would make sure this one checks out before kicking it loose. Not the best pictures and if any additional angles are needed, just let me know. Thanks!

IMO original zinc Wurster but with a repaired set up.

I am with Hans here, a good Wurster who have seen better life

Me too; good Wurster with replaced catch.

This is a tough one, but I tend to agree with Teacher that this is a reproduction. I specifically don't like the look of the pin and hinge, in addition to the catch. Also looks a bit soft on the reverse edges and the material and finish looks weird to me. If it is ground dug, it might explain some of the weird look to the finish, but the hinge and pin are the biggest concerns I have with this one.

Dave, can you show some addition closesups of the hinge with the pin open?

Thanks

I have the same opinion

Will do tonight when I return home...hopefully I will have some better light to work with. The picture of the front turned out horrible and possibly further compressed by the site.

Thanks to all for looking and the comments so far.

Imo a nice original with messed up hardware. It shares all features I would look out for on an original piece, base material, bubbling, broken bubbles etc..

One last example. The finish really doesn't come out well in the photos. The silver is reasonable and the back is not flat, rather concave/dished.

Thank you for looking!
