IAB on Estand

[TerryK]

Hello

I have this badge on the estand and have been asked about the hinge.
Is this badge good or a copy. I dont want to sell it if its a bad one.
So can anybody please help me. I have looked them up and noticed
the hinges are different.

Thanks in advance,Terry

Solder fills up the base of the hinge.

Does anybody have any opinions about this badge?

Thanks,Terry

Sitting at work doing the grave yard shift so i don´t have my reference handy but that Orth IAB looks good to me. These comes in two versions, a block hinge like yours and a wrap around type of hinge.

Here is the other type that exists

Hi Hans

Thats what had me worried. The couple of badges I looked up
had the wraparound hinge. Every thing else matches the others.
I feel a little better now.

Thanks,Terry

Hi Hans
That is the one that started the question about mine. Ill wait and
see if he is interested in it now or just fishing.

Thanks for replying to my question,Terry

Agreed, looks like a god variant IMO!

both hinges are accepted, like Hans wrote, nothing wrong with this one
