Jan, I have three silvers at 28.7g, 34.8g, 35.5g respectively and a bronze at 34.5g.

I have been lurking around here for almost a year and finally joined! Learned a lot from you folks already. Thanks.

Hi Jan,


There indeed seems to be some very significant weight differeces in these Wursters but although I can't explain it IMO its realy nothing to worry about. The same weigth variation can already be found on there hollow buntmetall badges going from very early 12gr to later buntmetal 21 gr. As far as i'm aware of these late buntmetall Wursters are the heaviest hollow PAB's ever made.

The same weight difference can also be observed on e.g the A.S. in track marked PAB's.

My silver zink Wurster, on my not so exact scale comes in at arround 38gr. the bronze one at 36 and my solid buntmetall Wurster at 42gr.

Jan, all three appear to be zink. The thinnest is the one at 28.7g. The other two are virtually the same thickness at 34.8g and 35.5g respectively.

Look at this KWM PAB it starts to be "green" .
Can "zincrot" be Green ???
