            Grrrrr......

            You've dont it again Eddie. I know every time I open a post by you I'm going to see something I wish I had in my collection.
            You're killing me. Both are nice. I really like the IAB for the same reason you do.

                      Hi Eddie

                      Your IAB is an FLL zinc hollow. Your example is considered the earlier variant of the FLL hollow examples due to the greater detail of the obverse and the early style hardware set up.

                      If you look at the reverse you can see the remnants of the so-called frosted silver finish. As this type of finish is very delicate, most of it has worn away with time.

                        Very nice additions Eddie. I have a similar GAB but mine has a bit more patina than yours...

                          Hi Fisher,thank you for identifying that IAB

                          sims like early badges of most types have one thing in common,when they age they age beautifully.

                          kind regards,

                          Eddie

                              Actually no...Mine has a much thicker more of a silver look to it.
