Reconstruction to "Biedermann & Co". If you check the list of all known makers, no other one can be a perfect match. So the packet is 100% identified. The GAB MIGHT have belonged to that packet too. Let's keep it in mind.

ANOTHER example of a dished GAB. Note that the dish position varies. This one is not well centered.Cheers, Frank

Looks like the dished area might fullfill an ejection purpose???

Dear Frank,
Thanks for the research on this badge. That dished variant for sure was a first one for me too but as you know the unique design of this GAB of course wasn't. Am I correct in believing that this rather uncommon GAB design was the role model used to make the notorious Assmann screwback- and JFS marked GAB's?.

Yes, that is correct. Both these fakes you named are based on this original design.Cheers, Frank
