Hello,

can only agree with Chris, it is a very bad fake.
The maker mark "BSW " means Brüder Schneider, Wien, but this maker did not produce numbered PAB, he made Luftwaffe badges.

Best regards

Martin

Hi Paul......

......I believe that is the old SBW. Made in England. Fake!

**Ludwig** · 02-28-2012, 03:40 AM

It´s not good. Value? Zero.

**PaulChep** · 02-28-2012, 06:41 AM

Hello Paul,

This is a crude lead Hollywood film prop, made by Sean Barry Weske, the British actor, Hollywood technical advisor and prop man. He used his initials 'SBW' within a cloverleaf as his trademark. (A takeoff of the original logo used by Brüder Schneider Wien: the initials 'BSW' within a cloverleaf.)

Best regards,
Tom
