I had just started looking up the origin of a badge I had aquired a long time ago. I found this web page and discussion about the badge I have. I can confirm that it is the APB but since reading your chat I can't confirm if it is a reproduction or original. It resembles the badges in your discussion but it is differant in a few ways. It is bronze colored but it is more oval than the badges pictured in your discussion. It has alot more detail on the obverse, such as the dots above the eyes on the scull, and more detail on the leaves and acorns and the snakes skin and eyes. To me it appeares to be more of what a military badge would be than the pictures etc. I have seen. The reverse looks to be pressed or thiner than the badges in your discussion but it is heavy. It does have the wide pin with sort of a hook at the top inside portion of the pin. Anyone interested in a discussion about it please respond. I would like to know more about it.
Thanks
