Bronze & Silver IAB and GAB

The Bronze IAB as well as the GAB do not have a Maker Mark. I hope you guys can tell me if all 3 badges are good and what Maker's are the Bronze IAB and GAB are? Any other help or information is very much appreciated. Thank you. JME

Hello,

The bronze hollow IAB is a fake and has been around for many years. Lately it seems to be making the rounds again. The silver IAB is an original made by Carl Wild (catch may be a replacement).

Regards,
Eric

Hello

Eric is correct with the first IAB being a well known fake and the Carl Wild being original with a replaced catch.

Best Regards, fischer

Thank you for your help. What about GAB #3? Is it Original? Do you know the Maker? Thank you. JME

Hi Jurgen,

I agree with the others, the Bronze is a well know fake and the Wild is a nice original. The GAB also looks to be original, but like Chad says it would be much easier to determine if it were straight on shots. Looks to me to be an S&L with a repaired catch.
