Hi Bojan,
It's a nice hollow Wurster type 1.2.3 'Organised Grass Pattern' in bronze, the material is tombak. These are not rare at all, but they are desirable as probably the next earliest PAB design after Juncker, and the fact the design is fantastic, the whole badge oozes the quality of these early designs. Some may think the hardware has been repaired/re soldered, but this is typical of how they were afffixed using a solder/flux mix that leaves this greenish to white residue around the base of the fittings. It's completely normal and nothing to worry about, don't be tempted to clean it off!
A great badge to have!
Regards, Ned.
