    Another tank badge


    Recommended Posts

    I agree with Don. #1 is a nice example of a legitimate flat back PAB. The rest, #2, #3, and #4 all have the telltale flatback which sets off alarm bells and whistles. All of those badges should have a slightly dished back. Check out Stogieman's Hermann Aurich PAB in the Sale Room and note the shape of the back compared to your example. Also check out that thread I referred you to in your earlier post. The guys have some great examples of various makers badges ranging from common to exceedingly rare.

    #2,3,&4 are fakes. The last one posted I'm not sure about. Can we please see the front.

    Bob, you've been holding out. I have a place in the motorpool for that last badge you posted. :love:

    That tank is in depot maintenance for turret and fire control upgrades. Don, you will be amused to know that a couple of our learned colleagues (and yes, I use the term with great derision) like to dipute the HS's authenticity simply because they have never seen one with that finish.

    I want to thank each of you for your help!! I am typing this at 2:40 am Christmas morning.. got kicked out of bed because of hick-ups, so here I am until they quit.

    Anyone with a nice Assault badge of any type for sale feel free to contact me. I did buy from one of the guys in this this thread, but you know I'll be needing more!
