Original Friedrich Orth zinc PKA. Stewy
Any chance in future you could rotate your pics, save us breaking our necks trying to help? Many thanks, Stewy
agree with Stewy.
Thx for the comment and sorry. I uploaded everything from my mobile phone and was not able to rotate the pics :-(

Ok Ned my friend, you've got me. What am I missing? I've never known you to be wrong about PKA's. Got a crick in my neck, I know that much. Cheers for the guidance mate. Stewy
Oh dear.

there ya go folks!...
Please don't take it the wrong way old pal!
Take a close look at the reverse of the gun barrel, it clearly shows casting residue, when have you seen those marks on a die struck badge? The pin is wrong, it's too thick. The catch on ALL Orth PAB's is always the directly soldered "?" type and never a "C" shape soldered to a round base. The circular ejector mark on the reverse of the eagles head is nowhere near right, too deep and wrongly positioned. The hinge also looks off (completely cast in with the base) and there's probably other problems, but as you say, the pic's make me not really bothered to make much more of an effort, although there's enough problems to condemn it anyway.
Regards, Ned.
