    Incorrect. These badges without rivets are totally original and if one were to study Philippe DeBock's excellent book on the PAB you would see evidence that these badges are actually an earlier production. The factory must have temporarily run out of rivets and finished them without.

      Thanks for posting your beautiful badge.
      It's interesting to me that the rivetless badge has that little spreader rivet holding on the number plaque.
      Has this been observed before?
      You are more than welcome I never knew how the numbers were fixed into place so found this post interesting.You never stop learning.

        Jeff,
        Does the book say anything about what's holding the tank on?
        If it's an early badge It's hard to believe that it would have been glue.

          It does not say. I would guess solder but I am not sure.

            I've seen alot of misinformation in books, does anyone out there know if these badges are fastened with glue or solder?
