Unmarked IAB

[monty]

Hi All,
Just after help identifying this unmarked IAB? It has similar reverse side details as a "JB & Co" but lacks the leaf detailing to the obverse side.

Thanks in advance!

Thats a tough badge, I would agree that it is certainly the JB&Co design but lacking the pebbling in the leaves? Haven't seen that before, I don't think I have anyway . Can we get close ups of the hinge and catch, do you see shear marks?

Hello Greg,
Thanks for the reply. The first photo I will attach should show the shear marks. The hinge and catch are shown in the other 2 photos. The catch is slightly loose in the solder but is still attached. The badge weighs around 20 grams (hope my scales are correct.) Nothing on the badge at all is magnetic. Badge is dished if it does not show. Back of rifle is slightly hollowed.

Thanks for your help!!
