Hi guys,

I'm afraid the IAB is a fake based in the BH Mayer design. Please, check the post nº13 posted by Graeme for comparison http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=102018

Best regards.

I agree with Jordi about the IAB. It is a known fake.

Hi Richard

The GAB looks original, you may want to treat it with vasoline especially as the reverse looks like it needs protecting.

That IAB comes in a variety of guises, but If you see a finish like you have on the reverse, It should be a red flag and start you thinking.

Ohe , I also think the IAB looks like made by Mayer , but it is a fake . I learn knowledge here , I will save these picture . Is it for light reason -- the IAB looks red ? Or that also a characteristic for this kind of fake ?
Kind Regards
