@waffenss893 yeah my mistake i was in a little bit of a rush when i made the video cause i was studying and decided to take a break to film my collection, so my mind was a little fuzzy. Its actually a normal general assault badge but the silver wash wore off, it was my mistake so hope that clears it up
Some really nice pieces you have got there, it is pretty much the same awards i had when i was collecting german WWII awards, now i only have got some WWI stuff, i turned to collect Finnish war medals instead, check out my video for some messy pictures :)
@lareleet24 i dunno how much its all worth cause ive collected them over about 10 years or so and never really bothered to check. But i probably should find out what the whole lot is worth
Sorry about the confusion of the PAB I realise my mistake of saying A.S as the maker. This PAB isnt a A.S maker its actually made by Adolf Schwerdt which has the same letters but a diferent symbol. I hope that clears this up sorry about the mistakes, I made the video in a bit of a rush and didnt check what id said.
@LAXMASTER022 As and AS in triangle are two unkown makers ( athough we have a pretty good idea who made them) , but the most accepted maker for the AS in the triangle is Adolf Scholze, not Schwerdt. These badges both have the same design, so you might want to check your badge out, because it just doesn't look right to me.
@TRcollector fredrick keller is a maker of the pilots badge just not a well known one. Sorry about the BWB its the wrong one in the case ,ive got 2, I forgot to check it before I made the video. The BWB in the video is not maker marked and thanks for the heads up on the GAB i guess we all make mistakes.
@LAXMASTER022 I don't know where you found that out, or who told you, but in all my years of collecting I've never heard that name associated to any TR badge. But I will post the question on the WAF to find out for myself if they were in fact a manufacturer.
@LAXMASTER022 I posted the question and did a search for Friedrich Keller pilot badges, and I have to say that It doesn't look good for your badge being authentic , like I thought.... I found out that Keller probably only produced tinnies, and is name has been put on fake badges. Saw another Pilot badge that looked exactly like yours with the same mark, that has been deemed fake...... If I see anything else in the next few days regarding these badges I will make a post
Nice collection, but I have a couple of concerns. Firstly, Fredrick Keller is not a maker of the Pilots badge. Also you said that your TR BWB is marked 65. Yours looks like it's made from brass, but that particular maker only made BWB's in steel. .......... Also General Assault badges only came in the silver grade. My guess your "bronze" one is and early tombak badge, with its silver finnish worn of
Wow, Very nice collection you got there. I'll be making a better video of my collection soon, when my gold close combat clasp arrives. Keep it up mate.

Ive never seen a general assault badge in bronze before? and on most websites and in books they think its a post war fantasy.
