This one has me stumped. (that's not saying much).

Looks like it is trying to be a Type 1 maybe (?) but the cut out swaz, poor detail of inner tread, rear catch set up as well as a few other features has me stumped.

There might be other types out there but the only one I know that has a cut out Swastika are the 7 wheel versions.

Also, like we asked on the other PAB posted yesterday, sufficient photos of the catch, hinge and eagle head are lacking.

Would love to hear other views. Maybe I'm just missing the boat as I can't identify it. As I don't study fakes, I can't compare to them as well.

I'm not saying yes or no but to me those tank treads look alot like dumbells. Which I suppose doesn't automatically make it fake but it certainly does make it a less appealing award. Here's a thread with an infamous Staegemeir badge there's some similarities there but too close for me to call it an outright fake. Best regards.

This is the most famous PAB fake ("toucan" fake).

Thank Ryuuk.

I really need to keep a database of some of these more well known fakes.

Will admit that one had me fooled, looked good to me! Thanks for the info!
