IAB w/ "DH" mark opinions???

[Monkfinch]

I am a novice at collecting awards and I've had this IAB for several years. I tried to research it on the web, but was not able to find any info on IABs w/ a "DH" marking. Enclosed are pics of the aforementioned award. Is is real? Does anyone have informaton? Thanks.

It is not a DH but a stylized H.A. for the firm of Hermann Aurich. That is the proper hinge for an Aurich piece.

Chris, All Aurich pieces should have the same unique hinge type set up as on your IAB. There are many fake flat back HA marked PAB's that have a ball hinge. Avoid these pieces.
