    1. This bronze is made by an unknown producer but it comforms to known materials, techiques, and construction.
    2. Rudolf Souval (R S) in bronze. Two different versions of the maker mark. The more rounded on is late war and can be found on post war productions. The key is the catch. A single piece stamped catch is post war.
    3. Rudolf Richter, Schlag (R.R.S.) not to be confused with R.S.&S. (Richard Simm & Sohne) who never made PABs.
    4. Next up Rudolf Karneth (R.K.) twins. Bronze first. These are also some beautiful designs.
    5. This PAB is one of the ealiest designs, made of nickle silver. Known as the "Porsche" because of the beauty and quality. The maker is unknown.
    6. Juncker in bronze. The reverse of these are simular to the "Zimmerman" PABs. The key is that the catch is inset to the badge.
    7. 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.
    8. FLL in bronze. Note, this is the only verifiably original flatbacked PAB. You can find these unmarked.
    9. 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
