IAB in silver

01-23-2011, 07:07 PM

Hi All,

Having recently listed both a IAB and Flak Heer for comments ( both are fake )
I have purchased both books from B&D Pub.
My question is were either badges ever issued in "800" german silver? Both books make no reference to total silver badges.

Hi Russell,

No IABs or Heer Flaks were ever produced in real silver. Very, very few badges were produced using real silver such, rare exceptions being the Heer Paratrooper Badges, Knights Crosses, etc.

If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little
