Pab 25 gb

[germanmedals]

Hello guys. I'd like to gather some information about this badge. There are some chips on the frame but what about the originality. Thanks for your comments

It's a good GB badge in horrible condition, probably even ground dug. Someone tried to make it look better using some vaseline. Still much better than all the GB copies floating around!

Thanks for your contribution. Now i saw that i posted it in wrong section of forum.

Are the holes on the back side OK as they are, or is it missing the nietes? Would you think that it is somehow restored together (glued) as the holes are empty?

[germanmedals]

here is what i have in mind,...

I found the second version which has such backside as mine so all OK.

Giel, could it be that the badge was ground dug. But the Panzer wasn't? If the rivets are missing, only the panzer doesn't look as rough as the actual badge. Just a thought. Stewy

I wouldnt say it was ground dug as it would have been much more corodated and expecialy on the front side which is almost intact. It has few chips on the side, but in the end it is a zink hollow badge, so this things happened. Here is a back side of one similar with holes at the back so no problem with that

Sorry I personally wasn't overly convinced it was ground dug. That's why when the lack of rivets was mentioned (& due to the panzer being in good nick). I thought I'd ask Giel his thoughts, or anyone else's. But it seems to have been sorted. Kind regards, Stewy

I have seen a couple ground dug badges in my days, I can say fairly sure this aint one. Way to good condition.

Looks like a good Brehmer to me as well, just not in the best condition as the guys have said.
