dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 That last one was a zinker. Here is an earlier bunt metal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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.ThanksDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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.ThanksDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Juncker in bronze. The reverse of these are simular to the "Zimmerman" PABs. The key is that the catch is inset to the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
