Panzerkampfabzeichen im Silber by HA?

[War Medals]

Hi Ralph, I got caught on a PAB not to long ago. I am very new to this type of badge but have noticed that fakes ones seem to have a very small forth wheel on bottom track. Most seem to have just a partial 1/2 circle for that wheel. Wondering if this is a good way to identify fakes.

A difference that I noticed on a real and a fake PAB.

That may be a trait of this particular fake, but there are a number of other fakes can be found that show more of the road wheel like the original.

That's why I will always say, study originals, they will never change!
If you study fakes, you will have to be continually learning.
If you see something on a badge that seems odd and does not match what you expect, then it would be suspicious.
Ralph.
