I found this PKA today on a very intersting militaria spot. I'm very happy with this find.

BH Mayer would be my guess. But Ned's your man for PKA's. Stewy
Very difficult to see any details from these dark photos but , I would agree with Stewy. It appears to have the flat "wire" catch. Here are a couple photos of mine for reference.

I can but only agree with my colleagues. The only question is what exact type it is material wise, tombak (doubtful), blech (white metal) or zinc, and what variant rear set up it has. This was one of the most common badges made, hence the variances, but it matters not.

Sorry for the bad pictures. I was in a hurry yesterday evening. I know - the pitures are not relly detailed. Here are some new ones.

It's the late hollow zinc type 4.1.2.

Are you sure with zinc?
