U-Boat F&R and Hollow PAB for review

[anguspm]

Hi All,

I've the chance to purchase a F&R U-boat badge and a hollow PAB (bronze). The prices seem good at 140€ for the u-boat and 70€ for the PAB but I wasn't actually looking at these badges at this time so I may be out on this one.

Can anyone help with the pricing?

I would provide photos (as supplied by the seller) but am still awaiting confirmation of membership so they'll have to wait.

Thanks in advance,

Angus

Do not buy the F&R u-boat badge. this is a known fake!

Hi,

Ok, I can now post the pic that was the F&R badge determined as a fake last night.

apologies for poor pic:

paaaaaah, Angus,

i have never seen such bad pics., were these from the seller?
What Rich says is perfectly true, I have seen and handled these quiet often, they are very convincing and nice but general opinion is that F&R never made UBoot badges
How about pics of the Pnzr., there are some good fakes of these out there as well.

What is with the Inf.St. badges, nothing has come to my end

ok Skip,

Here's the panzer pics, again from the seller and again very poor quality. Have sent a pm regarding the IABS.

Hey Angus, you should kick this seller in the butt and tell him were to stick his pics.
I would tend to steer away from this Pnzr. as the hinge is not exactly typical.
Get better pics and maybe Anthony can tell you more.
