I have this PAB in silver that is a hollow back, heavy tombak, ball style hinge. I'm curious on the maker? I was leaning toward Frank & Reif or GWL. I could be wrong on my assumption. thank you for your time 🙂

No response. Puzzled 😕
Until those with more knowledge come around I'll give you my two cents. That said I'm not skilled like Ned and the gang to be able to identify without consulting my reference materials. I can only work backwards, Comparing hardware and then looking at the obverse. From what I see, the rear hardware does not match up to a GWL or F&R according to Philippe De Bocks book.
I can continue paging through the other 850 pages however to see if I can find a match.
Edit: Looked through the rest of the book and did not see any matching hardware. So best wait for others.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Not any hardware that I recognize.

This is an example of the "Blob" fake that's been doing the rounds for decades now. The reverse hardware is completely wrong for ANY Panzerkampfabzeichen. Besides that, the obvious points that surprisingly everyone seems to have missed is the football shaped co ax MG port, the "dumbbell" track links and the over detailed grass/rock foreground not seen on originals of the Schickle/BH Mayer design this pup is based on.

Thank you for the info Ned. It will be a nice tunic piece 😊
Don't forget the time zones for us here in dear old England. Ned is as always spot on & I can only agree with my old mate. Stewyby humble collector

Felicitations to ye noble sire, Ned.
