Silver PAB "Frank & Reif for review

[Mort Homme]

Got this badge recently.
I'm cocerned for the backpart, could the pin and rest of the part be changed postwar. Looks ver y new to me.
Any thoughts?

Nothing wrong with that one. A gorgeous early production F&R low maker marked example, I'm jealous!

Regards, Ned.

As Ned says, all original no re-attaching of hardware. Stewy

Thanks a ot for your comments. Seen other examples around (on the internet) with the same brass-like backparts. Nice to hear I did good purchase, then.

Yes, Good one this also as to be expected.

Jan Arne S was one of the good guys.

Yes, I know.
He had posted a picture of all his PAB's in a local forum called 1940.forum and he had a lot of awards, badges, crosses and shields.
I won 2 PAB's, one bronze CCC and a silver wound badge through the auctions. I reckon there are more to be purchased.
Thanks a lot for your information.

It is good they are going to a nice home.
I just bought 2 ss caps so I got nothing

I also think there's more than was on this auction.
I know I sold him a stone mint MK3 IAB which is really rare, and it was not there.

Hi Mads.
Yeah, the other collectors here said it was only a small part of his collection.
I'm expecting at least one or two other auctions. Going to bid on some more awards then
