Hi Wyatt,

Both are original wartime. The one on the left is an early hollow zinc FLL and the one on the right is a vienna design (catch may be a replacement?) IAB.

Best regards,
Eric

Either rare? Or should I wait for better?

**Eric N** · 11-13-2010, 03:22 PM

The vienna design is common and the FLL is is less common, but not rare.

Thanks for response. I think ill pass.

Hi Wyatt,

I agree with Eric the left one being an early FLL in zink that once saw better days.

The right one is an RS with typical Juncker catch. This variant is far more rare and imo more disirable than the normal RS IAB.

Thanks for all replies. I ended up passing these up for a marked wurstur pab my brother had posted earlier. My eyes were drawn to the vienna design due to the style of catch used, which I relate to juncker. I also have heard these catches were used on other badges by other makers.
So opinions were needed for a decision to be made.

Thanks,
Dave

Well, I guess I wasn't familiar with this set-up. Common badge with uncommon variant hardware. Hope I didn't steer you the wrong way.

Regards,
Eric
