Here are three from my stash which I am hoping can be confirmed as genuine, period originals. Below are the details. Comments and feedback will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1. IAB (S) by Ferdinand Wiedmann in unworn condition. A late war example in grey "Kriegsmetal" alloy or zinc with traces of the silver wash evident on both sides. Quite thin with a smooth reverse that is slightly concave. The wide-base hinge assembly and hook-shaped retaining clasp are soldered directly to the base metal; and the pin is clipped-off at an angle and flat at the point...all non-magnetic.
