Sure That's Real???

Hi Frank, pin is all wrong as well as the color of the bronze. I'll give you $100.00, I've been looking for a good repo.
Just kidding

Hi Frank,

Lovely badge, glückwünsch!.

Can we have a shot of the hinge, please?.

Thaks Skip

Very nice Frank.

I have posted pics of an APB badge of mine on the other APB thread, and would value your opinion.

Again, great looking piece.

Regards,

Tim

Frank;

Wonderful and most important, original piece! Congrats!

**Frank Heukemes** · 09-01-2002, 06:35 AM

Thanks, I looked for a long time for an APB that is original, not overpriced and in a good condition. And guess what, I found it in a Munich coin shop! Of course the dealer knew what he had and it was not unexpensive but reasonable, let´s say Detlev kind of pricing.

Skip, here are more shots of the hinge.

Cheers, Frank H.

Btw, I just saw that the first hinge shot might give the impression that the barrel is "edgy", it is NOT , it is round.

Cheers, Frank H.

Thanks for the extra pics Frank. All for the personal archives.

Frank, I have to ask...

Is the top near the hinge broken and repaired?

**Frank Heukemes** · 09-02-2002, 05:19 AM

Dear Ralph,

Neither nor. The zinc is thinner there in that area and came out a bit inaccurately formed upon leaving the die, it is not so much visible from the obverse. Also note a small hairline crack on the reverse in the 4 o´clock position.

Cheers, Frank H.

**Ralph A** · 09-02-2002, 05:54 AM

Sorry Frank

My apologies. This just looked odd to me (arrow). I have my eye on one of these myself. If the pics come back looking as good as yours, and the price is right, I may take it.

Best, Ralph
