PAB silver Solid help please...

[leaftree]

Found this unmarked solid PAB in silver. Looking for some opinions on it.
It's a little soft on details:
- weak pebbling behind wreath
- excess metal on bottom arm of swastika
- casting line across obverse half of badge
- soldering splatter around bottom obverse hardware.

apologies for the pics, I didn't have a lot of time.

Thank you

One look fake IMO, Details are wrong such as an ugly barrell, poor sharpness, Swastika runs deep into the turret and reverse that looks like it was finished on a belt sander.
Hope I am wrong and you have a rare one off badge!

Condition

It's in a collection of low grade medals, KVK's, East Medals, Ek'2's etc. all of them show age, and then there's this one that looks like it just came out of the factory. I would expect to see some wear on it. Finish looks as good as those horde Aurich PAB's that came out a year ago.

I tend to agree. It looks to be a bogus one.

I agree with Daniel...nothing wrong at all with this amazing flat back pab. This is actually the nicest one I have ever seen.

So Don, what is my prize?

You get to say "Ha, Ha!!!" too a bunch of guys that got it wrong.

OK. Ha ha on me, but I'm interested to know more about the how, who, what and why about this badge. It has a "Vienna" casting, but so poorly fabricated, I couldn't help, but say, "Couldn't be real". I don't think in my worst inebriation I could have pulled off worksmanship like that, unless there were a few bombs going off.

Hi Ken,



not much known about these, the maker remains unknown. I really like the design of these piece, very solid ones imo:

I've never liked them myself but they have turned up in German vet groupings. I just can't get by the poor workmanship but to each their own as they say.
