Tank Assault Badges -are they real?

[Greg]

If the last couple of posts are about the hinge on the S&L PAB (#5 and #11), that's a recognized hinge variant for S&L PABs. Considering, of course, that in line with what Chet said about S&L activities, it can't be ruled out that it could be post-war. The Aurich PAB is good.

Best,
Greg

I should have said "catch variant," though that's an accepted hinge as well.

Both of the Panzer Badges look completely original to me.

The Panzer Marksman Lanyard Badge looks bogus to me. It is either a complete fake or, as someone mentioned previously, a factory reject piece that had a hinge and catch added postwar.

Best regards,
