PAB Maker ID ......

[Chris Taylor]

Had this one for a while now, want to confirm a maker if possible.

I have an idea, but don't want to taint any responses by saying.

What do you guys think, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,

Looks like an unmarked Frank & Reif with a replaced catch to me.

Chris, I can't tell from the photos but is the back of the badge concave?

[Chris Taylor]

Hello Bob,

Yes, the back's concave.

I'm attaching a better photo (well, maybe better?).

Hi Chris
What Dan said, unmarked F&R.

Thanks guys, I suspected F&R but then started thinking it might be an RK, but isn't the pin assembley different on an RK?

The shape of the head of the eagle on "R.K." PABs is so distinctive you can usually identify this maker's PAB simply by looking at the front. And expect to see a "ball" hinge on this maker's PAB.
