Looks like a very nice condition sccoped back, zinc Adolf Scholze. Love the detail on these PABs.
Very nice and very very shiny

It catches a lot of guys out this one doesn't it?
For those wondering why it's duff, take a look at the comparisons here and all will become clear.
Take note of the weird looking head on the fake compared to the gen example.
The softness of the semi hollow reverse is obvious here when compared with the original.
The ball hinge on this type 3.3.2 badge should always have a flattened top, not a purely rounded one.
Why has this badge got a crimped in JFS type catch? AS in Triangle never used this design, just look at any genuine one of their 4 different type PAB's and you will see the problem here.
My work here is done. Fingers crossed, hopefully the OP can get his money back on this fake badge.
