Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber - Manufacturer?

[stgeorge64]

In continuing to catalogue the badges and awards in my collection, this unmarked PAB in Silber is one of the few non Luftwaffe items I have left.

Puchased around 1988/89 I always had a soft spot for this badge, and decided to keep it to augment a Waffen-SS Panzer document set.

I think the reverse was cleaned at some point (not by myself) but overall is just the condition I like to have awards in.

Hopefully, there will be enough in the images for someone to be able to identify the manufacturer. Any help whatsoever will be very well recieved indeed.

Regards Richard.

Finally detail of the running gear and 'Daisy'.

All help in the identification of the manufacturer will be very well recieved.

To me this is Daisy (A) type.
Interesting and uncommon-I think-because the reverse side is the "early" to me (not the final quality) but the catch is later to this type. If I'm correct..

I agree, a nice original but without any of the original finish left.

Thank you very much indeed for your respective replies.

So, a 'Daisy' 'A' Type it is then.

Is it possible to pin down a specific manufacturer on this piece at all?

Regards Richard.

Giel know the best.
Today remain some PAB without known maker. Here, in the forum you can follow the research for the identification. Today we know that the "7 wheeler" PAB made by Meybauer,and etc. I think need some time to the Daisy.
This PAB (about form) made in Lüdenscheid area.
I recommend the PAB book by Bock, and this forum to collect more knowledge.
Maybe I can help

There is indeed only very found regarding this type of Daisy PAB. Let's hope something good will turn up in the future.

Hopefully, in the future some more details will emerge as to the manufacturer of this piece.
