Hollow back GAB

[Frank Heukemes]

@Philippe:

How would you explain this. Somekind of die malfunction just as we can see on some solid 7 wheel PAB's with variations in the number of cut out swas arms, 1, 2 or none at all?

Hard to say, but I observed that the ones with only one cut-out are a bit more crude on the reverse. They required more handfinishing (filing) as well. Maybe an earlier vs. later production thing where the die suffered within time.

Jesus Christ Frank, you must have an eagle eyes!

@Robert: Not really. After one and a half years of looking at GABs on a daily basis, I know the types quite well by now. I knew it was an Assmann before I saw the mark, then looked for the mark and there it was. Btw, the mark has to be on these ALWAYS, as it is part of the die.
