Hi falls1944!
I don´t like it at all.
Have a look at the eagle´s head - is he smiling?
The bayonet looks weird to me.
I think it is a copy/fake badge of a GWL badge.

Hi David,

I can only agree with Marburg, this one is a fake. Common fake designed based on the "4-rivet" type with terrible reverse hardware setup.

Hi!
After looking at genuine badges of the "Four Rivet" type I can only say that Tom is right.
I thought it is a GWL fake because of the circle on the reverse.
Now I know better.
Sorry, but I´m still learning.

You were close, my first thought was GWL as well when I saw the circle, but the obverse is more similar to the 4-rivet. Good for you for trying, keep up the good work you will memorize the obverses of all IABs in no time if you keep at it.
