I received this unmarked IAB from a fellow forum member a couple of days ago. I like the look and detail. I am somewhat new to badges and don't have the IAB book (YET!). Can someone have a look at the eagle and set-up on this one and tell me if it is a known or unknown maker as of now?

Hi William,
like Michou says it´s a SHuCo design IAB. They could be SHuCo´s but on the other hand also made by SHuCo for another company or SHuCo provided with the die to another company.
There are 10 different known IAB´s with this design which comes as marked and unmarked one´s. Unmarked IAB´s with the SH.u.Co design have been found in packets of other companys, a Crimped in type have been encountered in packets from Gottlieb & Wagner, Oberstein.
Both Gottlieb & Wagner and SH.u.Co are from Oberstein so it´s quite possible that these companys cooperated. Also a unmarked SH.u.Co 4 stemmed type have been found in a Eduard Hahn packet and again it´s a Oberstein located company!Regards

I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).Comment
