Looks like it could be a cupal badge, is that copper showing through?

bigd,

I fear that my countryman from whom you got this did you a disservice - this is not a good F&R semi-hollow PAB. The obverse design is incorrect, and the shape of the letters in the maker's mark on the back is incorrect.

See this thread for some good ones. http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...light=Reif+PAB

Regards,

cheers bigd

Hi bigd,

Prices vary by country and source, but I would guess the big German dealers would be wanting EUR 160 or so for a good semi-hollow Frank & Reif PAB. I know shows and sources in the States where it would be less, but $150 anyway.

Apart from the lettering, remember the eagle´s head and the tank treads. No original F&R badge has that.
