IAB - good or not? maker maybe?

[KarsaiBalazs]

Hello gents,

I was asked by my friend Anubisz to upload his pictures. Is his IAB good? I would say yes... And if you could, please tell us the maker too.
Thank you!

Hi Gents,
I think it is a fake or a late war "Vienna design"

From these pics it looks to be a good unknown maker referred to as a Vienna Design "scooped rifle" with wrap around sheet metal hinge.

Is it possible to see pics of the hinge without any shadow? Stewy

Hi guys,

Its a well made Staegemeir fake! Remember we talked about this one a few months ago, I will try to find the link again.

Hi guys,

Can't find the thread for some reason, but these are easy to recognize by the big crack in the eagles wing. Here is the same exact fake from Staeg's own website.

Hi Tom

I remember the barrel hinge fake that you posted but do not recall seeing a wrap around hinge version.

He must have changed hardware set ups. The catch is different also.

Both are exactly the same castings...
