Panzerkampfabzeichen III Stufe "50", GB, Gustav Brehmer

[rbminis]

The most recent addition to my PAB collection.
Although the rivets appear to have been "tightened" and the "C" part of the catch has likely been replaced, it is probable that both were done a long time ago. The catch plate appears to still be original. There appears to be very little wear on this award due to the fact that there is virtually no wear to the track pins and there is no distortion to the obverse from when the rivets were tightened.

Hi Ralph,

Very nice original Brehmer PAB, in a sea of fakes. I agree with your assessment of the catch, looks replaced to me as well but the plate looks like the original.

All in all, a great #PAB, nice addition my friend.

Hi Ralph, congrats for the PAB, indeed a nice piece even if the catch is replaced.
About the mini it is IMO not original; a very poor cast fake.
