I see zinc under the paint so I would assume that this has be painted with a bronze paint of some kind.

I cannot comment on the originality of the badge because I dont know GAB's well enough.

Regards,

You need to post clear and sharp pictures. For me this is a heavily worn or cleaned brass(tombak) badge, which has no finish left.

Hi Sasha

Did you get this from Detlev a couple of weeks ago? If so it came from my collection and is an original tombak BH Mayer that has a bronze under finish applied to it, silver top coat was never applied.

Is it a trick of the camera or am I the only one that sees greyness around the hinge and catch?

Not sure what it is but I do. Closer shots may help to clear the doubts.
