PKA could be a Hermann Aurich. But too hard to tell from these pics,sorry. Stewy

cheers stewy yea your right thats what the dealer says it is, there the only pic of it its quite cheap must be due to the condition ?

The Pz badge has been refinished (ie repainted!) for sure. This could be stripped off.

Both badges are original.

Hard to say if the wound badge was ever gold though? Only close inspection would tell. Either way, silver or gold. Silver is my bet.

Cheers, Ade.

Without other pics,i'm wary. Although it doesn't have the typical fake Aurich "ball hinge" that you see so often. You still see fakes of this type,which are more convincing. But prpoer Aurich's don't go that cheap. I'd stay away without better pics. Around the hinge is where i'd like to see more clearly. Stewy

cheers ade

im wondering if i should now? if i striped the silver finish of would it not damage the badge? and true the pin could have been stuck on theres no gold on the badge at all

thanks rory

[rory]

yes might give it a miss then stewy its only 90 euros so too good to be true maybe

The paint would come off ok with paint stripper.

But the wound badge is a better buy.

[rory]

yes i think ill definety go for the wounds badge either way ade and may take a gamble on the other ill let you know how i get on

cheers rory

If you look at the Swaz on the PKA it doesn't appear to be joined to the tank. Along with a couple of other issues,but that's the most noticeable IMO. Stewy
