I'm still unsure.I have looked at the threads on here and checked to make comparisons with the photos I have of this badge .I'm Sure Tom Durante bought one recently so hopefully he can clarify if this one is a fake?
Thank you for the comments so far guys.

I think you are correct Ryuuk.I have been searching for more of these 4 rivet IAB's .I have seen some for sale/sold from well respected collectors and dealers and the badge you have kindly shown match these known originals.
Thank you for your diligence.

Indeed a fake like Ryuuk points out. For me the easiest way to spot the difference is in the eagle's face. The reverse setup on these fakes is very convincing, hard to spot if you don't know what to look for.
