Silver IAB - unusual pin fitting..

[ravrick]

Hi,
any thoughts on this badge? I have seen this type of fitting on GABs before not on an IAB, is it correct?
cheers,
Rick

Hi Rick,

this type of setup is known on the so called 4-rivet IABs. So in general this IAB with this setup exists as originals. Unfortunately your example is a fake.

Hi Rick,

Sven is correct ofcourse, yours is a common fake based on the 4-River IABs.

Thanks Guys, I was thinking of bidding on this but not for much longer!
Much appreciated,
Rick

Yes that's a fake. If you do a search on 4-rivet iab you can compare a genuine one with
this example. You will spot many differences.
Good you posted it here before bidding.
