This thread will be for posting photos to contribute to the PAB data base. If any member would like to contribute photos for the data base, here is what I would like.
I would appreciate four to five photos, straight on obverse, straight on reverse, close up of the hinge and close up of the catch. If it is maker marked, I will accept one clear photo of the maker's mark.
They must be clear and preferably on black background but I will accept a dark color that shows the detail and color of the badge correctly. If you are able to achieve good detail and correct color on white, I will accept that as well.
They must be saved as a large enough file that they will enlarge when they are clicked on. I save mine at about 1600 x 1100.
I am not currently concerned if it is a bronze or silver example.
You will be given full credit for the photos.
I don't know them all so, please add some info.
If you post them in this thread, they will be moved over to the data base and removed from this thread.
Here is a list of existing threads in the data base for those of you who are not gold members and do not have access to the data base currently but would still like to contribute.

Here is a sample of what I am looking as far as photos go. I understand if they are not as clear as my photos but they must be relatively clear if I am going to put them in the data base.
Thanks in advance for any contributions you wish to make.
Ralph.
