Hello,

This appears to be the so called Shrugging Eagle pattern.

Collectors go either way on these. Some think they are good and others bad. The general consensus that I have seen is that they are bad.

I personally am not convinced they are original either.

Shield looks fine to me.

Appears to be a Wurster, nice one!

VERY, very nice collection Paul!

It was a pleasure to see it. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Had to jump in real quick and say what a beautiful visor you have there. Not to mention the rest of your collection.

Very impressive!

That is the most impressive PAB collection I have ever seen. OUTSTANDING!

How long did it take you to build your collection?

Seeing how I can only afford perhaps 3 PABs a year, it would take me 38 years to catch up to you.

Amazing!

Thanks for posting these.

Regards,

Rob.

Good work Jon!

It is a pleasure to see your collection grow. Keep up the good work!

Rob.

Outstanding Kurt! Very impressive indeed.

Thanks for posting your beauties and getting this thread started!

I very much enjoyed reading it.

Very Nice collection Paul!

I love the LW sword. My favorite of all TR edged weapons. Outstanding the way the NSKK fell into your lap! Good to see it has a home where it is appreciated.

Sorry for the bad pics,

Here is my Kreis! I love the quality of these badges.

VERY NICE collection Raz!!

Warlord,

That is a great first pattern gold cross. You dont see those every day as they are rare and command a hefty price. Also interesting the other is lacking the inscription. Must have made it past the inspectors.

Nice crosses fellas!

Rob.

Reverse.

I need to take better pics of this guy.

Don, I'm glad you found one! Sure is a beauty. Congrats!

Regards,

Rob.

Great badges fellas. I am impressed!

Here is my lonely Silver AS.

Hello all!

I am new here, but I post under the same name at the MCF. Looks like you all have a great site!

I have some questions regarding the DJ proficiency badge.

As I understand it, a real one has the area around the swas cut-out. On the reverse, it has the RZM logo and RZM contract number embossed (raised-up), while the issue number is stamped. Is this the only acceptable variation?

There are many on the market that look very convincing, but have stamped RZM logos and contract numbers. There are also some with the area filled in around the swas. I am curious what is acceptable for one of these badges.

Thanks to all for your time and assistance!

Best Regards,

Rob.

Great stuff and history you have there Rich. I especially like the Spitzer. Could you post a shot of the whole dagger? Those are difficult to get in good condition, not to mention personalized! Well done!

Best regards,

Rob.

Beautiful examples fellas! Well done!

Regards,

Rob.
