11 PAB's and 3 CCC's for review Pease!!

[Thomas Durante]

You have a few clunkers in here, but also some fine originals:

#1: Original "AS in Triangle"
#2: Original Herman Aurich
#3: FAKE, but would like to see a full shot of the reverse to be 100% sure
#4: Original unmarked Frank & Reif, but with a weird mark stamped in. Can you shoot a closeup of the mark?
#5: Original Wurster
#6: Original Weidmann
#7: Original FLL
#8: FAKE "Toucan"
#9: Original Frank & Reif
#10: Questionable Assmann. Has some bad qualities, but also some good so not sure about this one.
#11: FAKE

CCCs

#1: FAKE
#2: Original AGMuK
#3: Original JFS

Thanks Guys!!!

Hello Guys,
Thank You both Very Much. Would better pics of the Assmann help?

[Graeme]

Regarding the Wiedmann, it seems a little strange that there appears to be finish in the worn areas near the bottom of the obverse.

There are two superb reference books pretaining to these two types of badges available. The first one is by Thomas Durante, titled "The German Close Combat Clasp" Belive it or not, but he is a moderator here.....

The other book (actually a set of two) is by Philippe De Bock titled "The German Panzer Assault Badge of World War Two" This is THE PAB bible.

It would be money well spent.

4) is very suspicious. Feeling is fake.

We will be honest with you, this thread was really a well hidden trick to lure you out in the open via Pab #8


That and I second his advice regarding the books. A couple of these pabs would be one lookers with a little time spent reading them.

The first AS does not look good to me, and I am also skeptical regarding the Assmann...

[ShedHunter]

I will post some better pics tonight on the ones still in question. Thank You!!!

I had 3, 4 and 11 down as bad, I missed 8 on the first go.

All the CCCs looked good to me but hey I am not very well versed in these. But if Tom says the first one is dud I will go with him.

Looking forward to seeing better pictures.

Many thanks for posting

4) false. I have never seen such a sign.

I have to agree with Daniel, I saw a fake AS at MAX a year ago, and from the pics, looked similar. If you can post some close-ups, that would be helpful, especially of the tank
