      Thanks Ak

      Already noticed that there are some details missing on the bottom of the bayonet grip, or is it the picture?
      Kind regards,
      Giel

        Giel,

        the scanned picture is not the best .... but you are right, several minor details are missing or look suspicious but think about this badge in a online auction:

        - with darker pictures
        - a little bit blurry
        - a clever photo angle

        .... and there we have the danger from this fake.

        Imo it can't foul a advanced collector who handeld several genuine BHM IABs but it is a danger for beginning collectors.
        Best regards, Andreas

          I believe this one may have been a first generation, as I think I have located one on a dealers site that lacks the obvious "800" give away . But has a couple of the other features that we haven't discussed "out loud" yet.
