LACKIE14 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 hello everyone putting a few pictures of a badly deteriorated pab by adolf scholze, the badge conforms to sizes and weight and has the AS triangle mark though badly deteriorated. however the hinge, pin and clasp all appear suspect? it also has silver plating which has lifted in several places, rather than a silver wash? let me know whats yous think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUKA STEVE Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hard to say Lackie from the photos though nothing looks overly suspect,pin appears strange but might just be photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Very weird Alex,never seen a pin retainer like that before , looks more like a KM style retainer, better to wait for one with the correct Scholze ball hinge, would not be one for my collection.
