    Hymnen L/53 GAB

    Hello boy's

    I've picked this one up recently after a lot of searching. It's a very nice L/53 marked GAB with a lot of silvering left on it (70/80%) What struck me was the very rough finishing that this badge had. Comparing it with my other very early S&L GAB, this one looks like an unpolished rock.
    Questions:
    Is this one in you're oppinions legit?

    I know there are three different variations of this type of badge. Witch one is the rarest?

    Here are the pic's

    Hi,

    I think all the Hymen GAB's are rare (and a bit ugly). However the finish on your one is very nice.

      Hi Peter,

      I agree with Theo, very nice Hymmen GAB and perfectly legit. I couldn't guess which of the zinc versions is rarer, but I think the hollow Tombak version is probably the rarest.

      Best,
      Greg

          Chet, I've been an member of this forum since 1999 ( my original account "Gunner" was deleted in 2001 couse of the fact I was more than 1 year overseas and wasn't able to log in) I've tried to join up for ass. member several times, but you can only join when you have a creditcard, wich I don't have and never will use. If membership payment and application can be done with Iban, than count me in.

          Cheers: Peter

                  That's one beauty!!

                  I hope some day I can trade my Hymnen for a FCL Art Deco type. I realy love that one.

                  Cheers: Peter
