Hi Doug,

This is a PAB 50 fake!

Kind regards,

Poor observe details, maker mark and rivets looks also different to me, IMO not original.

I agree, a reproduction, but a MUCH better reproduction than I am used to seeing. A lot of the things I look for on originals are now present, if not well executed. The fakers have done their homework pretty well.

Hi Mike

I guess the price of these awards nowadays, warrants the extra work and effort for the fakers.. Selling just one makes a nice profit.

I agree, a reproduction. And agree completely with Mike, its a much better one that we are used to seeing unfortunately.
