If my luck continues I think I'm on a roll...
Just received this nice Bronze tombac hollow stamped PAB. IMO another Schickle/Mayer design and based on the kind feedback I received on the early silver IAB I posted 2 days ago my guess would be its a Mayer product because of the flat sheet metal catch but, in visiting old threads showing this type, I noticed that many round catch specimens were deemed to be Mayer products as those with sheet metal catches so now I'm really confused (nothing new..)
Old posts also mention a profusion of repros for many types of PABs (Toucan fake, 2 dot fake etc) so the most important thing for me is to make sure its an original (whoever the maker may be!)
Thanks again for your help
