      Herman Aurich in bronze. This maker also used a unique reverse set up. This is the only set up he used. If you see one with a ball hinge, wrap around hinge etc... It is a fake. Sellers will call it a variation or type 1 etc... Don't be fooled. There is now a pretty good fake out there with this style hinge but the crimp is flattened on the top.

      The reverse.

      FLL in silver. Much harder to find than the bronze.

      The reverse.
    5. dond
      FLL in bronze. Note, this is the only verifiably original flatbacked PAB. You can find these unmarked.
    6. dond
      The reverse.

      F&R in silver. This and the previous are zinkers.

      Frank & Reif in bronze. Same obverse as the BH Mayer. Hinge assembly is different. Note the "footers" used to solder the hinge to the badge. Don

      The reverse. Note the unique attaching method for the hinge and catch.

      Next, Foerster & Barth in silver.

      The reverse. Note the hand finishing behind the eagle and swaz. That is common on all origianls of this maker. There is a good fake out there that lacks this detail and has a weak maker mark. Don

      EWE in bronze. This maker had the best finish IMHO. I have only seen them in bronze. If you have a silver please let me know. Thanks Don

      the reverse.
    14. dond
      The same in silver.

      An early bronze example from an unknown maker. Note the hinge/catch assembly which can also be found on WW1 wound badges. If anyone knows who made the wound badges featuring this hardware please let me know. Thanks Don

      The reverse. You can see the daisy better from this side. Don

      That last one was a zinker. Here is an earlier bunt metal one.

      Silver hollow Daisy.
    19. dond
      the reverse. It is common to find the catches facing to the left on these.
    20. dond
      Silver semi hollow Daisy.
    21. dond
      Now for some Daisy PABs. Bronze semi hollow.
    22. dond
      The reverse.
    23. dond
      Silver seven wheeler.
    24. dond
      Next up is the "cut out swaz" PAB, in bronze.
    25. dond
      The reverse. Note that there are no "feet" on the hinge where it attaches to the badge.
