Hi,
I got these three relic badges some years ago. I would like to hear your opinion on them.
Thanks

Hello Alex,

I can´t say anything about the IAB....

but the GAB looks not ok for me. The catch is definitely not original, and also the hinge and needle are at least "questionable".
If I look very close I think I see the small "W" ( Wurster) as a maker mark next to the hinge.


Also on the PAB the catch is not ok, rest of the PAB looks good

The PAB is original, catch is ok IMO

GAB, probably real with replaced catch

IAB- looks like a casting

They appear to almost look like they were put into some type of corrosive chemical , whats the story ? If some were relics where were they "relic'd" from, and if so ,and you actually found them yourself, how could they have incorrect parts on them? (just curious)

Unfortunately I don't have much story to them. They were bought from a flea market in germany over 10 years ago. No clue why they have incorrect parts on them. Maybe they were period repaired.
