Why is it please explain

[vacollector]

I'm at a loss too. The hardware is the same used on Marked JFS badges for the GAB 25. The riveting and detail is the same as other unmarked PAB 25 badges from JFS. Here are two examples from my collection.

I'm with Chris G. Hardware's slightly wrong. Stewy

[vacollector]

I think the pin may have been replaced on this one, but I'll step aside for other input.

i have quite a bit of money in this badge and if its junk i will take it back but i realy need a bit more than its a bad one or its slightly wrong a throwaway remark isnt helping i was hoping to learn abit about it. the pin and all other fittings are steel the pin is stamped and not filed into shape

[stewy]

Hinge plate is I'll fitting in the crimp. The hinge plate is not finished the same as an original. The catch & it's crimp is also not what I'd expect to see on a genuine one. That's the stand out points for me, without making any further points. Sorry, Stewy

[e-maus]

I have to agree with Stevy. Number plate also is not what I want to see. This is not the original badge.
For comparison my PAB

I don't think mine or Chris G's remarks were "throwaway". Study the reverse's of yours & "vacollectors". Or just put it on the e-stand & wait. Kind regards, Stewy

Thank you e-maus. A fine example you have there mate. Stewy

I have to agree with Stewy. Compare my hardware to your and let it be. The point made earlier about the numbers is a valid point. If my assessment is wrong, I do apologize.
