Truly an amazing find Giel. The Meybauer PAB progression really needs to be updated with this fascinating discovery. It is remarkable the similarity in eagle design between this PAB and the earliest Meybauer IABs, specifically the breast feathering and eagle's head; no doubt one and the same designer at work here.

I really like the realistic tank design too, it makes me wonder why they would have abandoned it for the more commonly seen design with rounded cupola.

Finds like this really make this hobby fun, and we can only wonder what other exciting discoveries await us around the next corner.

Nice one! How many people might have even purchased it and known what they had!!!

Seems you have a nose for finding rare meybauer pieces.
I remember the destroyer you posted a while ago.
Good job

Superb!

Congratulations, Kudos on your find Giel.
Though I hope this find doesn't go down in the books as "The Potty PAB".

Great thread here and congrats on your find Giel! I have the 2nd design in Silver but now will have to find one of these elusive 1st design badges.
thanks much for showing your beauty and starting the thread as I learned a lot reading it.
