I agree with Robert. The catch should be round wire not flat. SSman

I agree Frank & Reif moved their name around on their badges and produced unmarked PAB's, but not with that type catch. Here's an unmarked example. Also look at the tank's tracks on the first badge posted.

Frank & Reif badges were heavily faked about 10 years ago.

The tank badge that started this thread is called the Toucan Fake.

Thanks for all the input on this tank badge. I had a feeling the badge was a reproduction, but man they sure did a nice job on it except for the catch. This web site rocks
