VonLuger Posted May 28, 2005 Posted May 28, 2005 The amount of mint finished PAB's you have Jan has always amazed me jumping Now theory in motion--The wide back pin Jan just showed, ! Now check out the hinge and needle on the maker mark 4, cased EK1 Detlev offered this week....interesting to say the least...Jeff
Jan Arne S Posted May 29, 2005 Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Von Luger !I know about that theory . High Resulution scans of this "wide" pin PAB was sent to Frank H. for 3-4 weeks ago . And I`m open for all theories about the makers of this design PAB . But I beleive that it was more than one maker that used this design Here is a "KWM" Karl Wurster , Markneukirchen made PAB in Silver . It looks like Tombac , But I beleive that it is a zinc PAB with some kind of Copper coating before badge is Silvered . Can they have done this to get a better and longer preserved Silver finish ? Badge is to heavy to be "kupal" and it has no sign to the"sandwich" one sides .Jan Arne Edited May 29, 2005 by Jan Arne S
Jan Arne S Posted May 30, 2005 Posted May 30, 2005 And here is one unmarked in same design , beleive to me made by Karl Wurster . Jan Arne
Chet Sowersby Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) Gentlemen,The AWS posted in number 74 and 75 deserves futher discussion. IMO, it is a well documented fake. There are many accepted bronze types out there and they are accepted for their unique style of hinge/crimp and finish. This one shows none of what is accepted as good for this maker.

Bob Hunter Posted June 6, 2005 Posted June 6, 2005 Welcome, Chet, nice to see you here. I'm sure you will add a great deal to the GMIC. jumping
VonLuger Posted June 7, 2005 Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) a small 'w' PAB that had a hard life-very very worn yet color is superb Edited June 7, 2005 by VonLuger
Jan Arne S Posted June 12, 2005 Posted June 12, 2005 Von Luger ! Small "W" maker marked PAB`s are one of my favorite PAB`s . Here is 3 good friend made of "kupal" maker Assmann .Jan Arne
Jacques Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) All the panzer badges variants I own have already been shown, So I will share a 75 one. Edited June 16, 2005 by jacques
VonLuger Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 How many PAB cut outs do you have now Donalso Jan do you have any cut outs...IMO its ok to show duplicate badges here-with the difference in wear and material ect, you tend to see many varients of the same badge and also I never get tired at looking and comparing PAB's
Jan Arne S Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Hi Von Luger !Sorry ! But I dont have any PAB`s with cutout grass area . Only with cutout in swaz . But here is a Hollow PAB in Silver that not is seen so often , it almost looks like the back of badge is Silvered . Jacques ! Very very nice numbered PAB .Jan Arne Edited June 17, 2005 by Jan Arne S
Jan Arne S Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 One more Bronze Hollow PAB . Unmarked but beleived to be made by Franke & Co , Ludenscheid . Jan Arne
