Nice ''Halfmoon'' GAB variant with quality coating and finish. Nothing wrong with this piece.

Very nice addition...I'm always a fan of anything copper coated.

Hello gents, why do they refer to this GAB as "Half Moon"?

Hello gents, why do they refer to this GAB as "Half Moon"?

The more common set-up variation of this badge has a hinge plate in the shape of a half moon.
That nickname is not really applicable for this variation although people still use the term to identify as the maker is still unknown.
Just do a search on the half moon gab and it will become clear.
Lovely badge that started this thread. Great detail and in very good condition.

Nice half-moon GAB pick up! Lovely finish on yours and as the others have said, it is the lesser-common hardware setup variant. The one Steve shows from the WAF Database is the more common hinge, hence its common name half-moon.

Surprising that we still don't know exactly who the maker is behind this nice-looking GAB.

The half-moons hinge plates have slight hardware variation too. The one that Steve shows has a tall hinge. Here is other one with a shorter, fatter block hinge.
