Hi, I got 3 new badges and would like to hear your opinions. First one is an f.o. GAB, second one a SHuCo ISA, third one an unmarked S&L (?) PAB.
Thanks for your help!

Friedrich Ort GAB seems to be a good one.

The ShuCo example is a 4 vein variant and has a rectangular shaped hinge base.
The finish is well preserved on this one.

Thanks, fischer and Wim, really appreciated.
Any info on the PAB? Is it a good one?Comment

The IAB and GAB are fine originals as the others have said.
The S&L PAB however is a fake.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II

Hmm, that's really bad. Can you give me more information on it? A known fake with examples or references? The seller gave money-back guarantee and I need something to tell or show him... and hopefully get a refund :-(

I agree, GAB and IAB are good.

Tom, Giel, thank you so much for your help and for sharing your expert knowledge here. I would never have thought this badge might be a fake... to me it just looked like it should look, even directly compared to other PABs of the same type. I hope some day I will have more knowledge about this subject and have a better eye for those damn fakes. Until then - thank you very much again.
I contacted the seller and confronted him with the new facts about this item and I hope he will keep his promise and give me a full refund.Comment
