Hi William,
Maybe due to the ding it's taken on the end of the beak. It's still another 'Fat Catch Fake' based on the 3.3.2 design type and has the same problems with the unflattened ball hinge. Note the heavily scooped out rear of the badge, it is almost a mirror image of the tank on the obverse, the 3.3.2 type was the only AS in T PAB to have this detailed rear scoop, the other three types were not as near so well defined.
Regards, Ned.

another badge I found. Why am I having such a hard time with these lately?

WOW!! That's a pretty rare fake from Staegemeir. How the hell he teamed up an AS in T marked badge with a JFS designed catch that's only seen on numbered awards by them we'll never know I reckon. Interesting to also note that this badge appears to be of a tombak/buntmetall construction as well, not cheap old zinc like the originals.
Regards, Ned.
