Thanks, Bill! I'll post my own photos once it arrives. I'll weigh it to be sure, too!

If it's a fake, it's a Hell of a Great one! I definitely am with Ned on this one-I like it! Nice pick up, for sure!

Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber FOR REVIEW!
Ned, that is a sure beauty of a badge! I love PAB's but these S&L's are a favorite design of mine. The silver version of the massive zinker is quite difficult to find and is far more rare than its bronze counterpart.by big ned
Reproductions are said to be out there of this maker. Can anyone tell me if the reverse die-flaw is present on the fakes?

Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber FOR REVIEW!
Hi William,
The die flaw you allude to is the half moon crescent above the hinge I imagine? That is certainly to be seen on the current Staegmeir/Hero fakes, but there are other faults with those badges that make them easy enough to spot if you know what to look for. I won't go into details here as these people troll these forums for such info to improve their bogus wares!
Regards, Ned.

The benefits of working on a college campus...I wish I owned it! I believe that this is not only an S&L Panzerkampf Abzeichen in Silber, it is the most desirable, and heaviest zinc badge they made, hence why it's called the 'Monster'!!
The set up is 100% right for it, what you need to do Joe is weigh it...accurately!If it's 40g+ it's real, the fakes are lighter.
If it is 40+, that's a damn fine catch my friend!
The chemistry professor weighed it for me... lol. Yes, we did remember to tare the scale to cancel out the weight of the tray.
