    Nice cut-out Meybauer Chris. A good amount of finish left.
    Typical straight on soldered '?' catch.
    By the end of 1941 zinc awards already circulated.

      Hi Chris,

      Very nice early Meybauer in nicely worn condition. Nice PAB document as well.

      It shouldn't be much of a surprise that zink was being used early on. It may not have been the material of choice by most makers, but zink is a very good metal to use in badge construction if it is refined and finished correctly. Juncker was using zink for the cores of their Knights Crosses in 1940. Other makers too, like Schickle and SHuCo were using zink for their badge production as well in 1941 (ShuCos are marked with the date on them). Schickle went out of business in 1941 but we have plenty of his products in zink before he lost his license.

      Zink is easier to work with than brass or tombak because of its lower melting point. Its also more readily available, and if it is refined correctly to remove all the natural impurities it stands the test of time very well.

      If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

        All right and thank you both,
        I would have expected the zinc pab a little later at Meybauer because they also made tombak pieces

          Chris,
          You might want to give the badge the vasline treatment to preserve what finish is left.

          Zinc stinks!
