Opinion on my badges needed

[Don D.]

GAB 1+2 are good. I've never seen GAB 3 so I think we could start a thread on it to discuss it. Could you do that and give us some background on it, height, width, weight, when and where acquired etc... ps. GAB 1 has a replaced catch.

Hi Don ,
I am going to throw caution to the wind on this, but what do you think on the #3 GAB as being a "Frank & Reif" buntmetal. Please correct me if I'm wrong and a little explanation would be welcome , since I to am a student and try to learn .

If it wasn't for that hooked nose I would say unknown maker #2. Better, straight on, full sized front and back pics will nail it for sure. This is one of the few GABs I've never owned or handled (if I'm correct).

[Bill Gaynor]

Thought the hooking was a shadow till I looked again, almost looks like a bad filing job when you look at it close and from the back.
