Hello everyone,

Don has asked me to place this IAB (presently on the E-Stand) up for discussion, so here it is. All comments welcome

Badge looks great but it is not one of the two accepted variants, so I say it's a fake, probably Steagemeier.

Thanks Den.

This badge was purchased in March of this year, so all the comments I can get will certainly help when I get in contact with this dealer again.

Regards

Alan

Hi guys,

I don't have my references in front of me, but didn't Hobacher IABs share the same obverse as Souval? This is a Zimmermann obverse with a Hobacher reverse. Based on that I would say reproduction. I also think the hinge is quite flimsy looking and pin is not typical as well.

Hello,

I would say fake as well as this is FZS obverse and W.H. reverse.

The good news is I have been in contact with the Bob (the dealer) and his reply...
