[ERIC LIN]

Hi Guys

this PAB belongs to a friend of mine

The horizontal pin setup is new to me.....can you please review this? any good sign?

He needs your opinions

Thanks

[ERIC LIN]

I do like this PAB looks

The material looks good, the pin hardware looks WWII period to me.

The overall detail are great. but still new to me about the pin being horizontal

Thanks for your help in advance....thanks

Hi Eric,

This is just another version of a very common fake. Same fake as the ball hinge HA PABs, RSS PABs, MH-marked PABs, etc. All fakes with the same obverse design.

I can only agree with Tom,fake PAB

What Tom said, exactly! The obverse is the very same on all of them.

Amazing how many different versions of this fake there are

They went to a lot of trouble too, with that innovative hardware approach! Looks like it's made from the same material that this type usually is - a heavy brassy material, which I would describe as a harder alloy than WWII Tombak, with an also heavy/thick finish.
