Hello Yuri,
I've also in my collection an Assmann IAB whit the stylized "A". This is a hollow construction.
Assmann also manufactured hollowed GABs and PABs with the same marking.
As for the FLL IAB, i have 2 versions, one with only the logo, the other with the logo and '43'.
Hope this helps.

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for that list. Probably just a typo, but make sure it is "Wernstein, Jena" in the article, not "Wernerstein, Jena".

Cheers, Frank

Hello!
I have a very nice IAB in silver, marked "JB&Co". This producer is not on your list, as I can see!

Please be so kind as to email me large scans of your bages, plus the following dimensions:

Height (mm)
Width
Rifle length
Eagle width
Hinge width
Weight (g)

Again, thank you for your help! Full credit will be given for the badges used in this article.

Hi Yuri,
I 've got 17 IABs in my collection among the 2 quoted above in my last email.
All have been photo'd but I have for the moment no access to a scanner.
The best way would be to put all the photos on a CD but this operation requires time to trace back the tons of unsorted negatives.
I wil try to do my best to provide you the needed photos ASAP (not before 2-3 months unfortunately)
Best Regards
Denis
