IAB opinions

[Patrick W]

Hi Guys

Have seen this IAB for sale and it looks like it should be tombak F&R/ BH Mayer example. Having compared the details differ slightly and the swaz is joined the rifle in this one. Also the hinge has a foot to it.

Is this one to steer clear of?

Thanks, Patrick

Stay away from that one! It´s a old B.H.Mayer fake, just compare the eagles chest feathers and you´ll notice the differance right away.
These are thought to originate out of UK.

Thanks Hans will stay well away!

Hans is correct, this is a copy.
