Thanks for all the welcomes! its great to have access to so much knowledge. One last question regarding this IAB....is it bronze or silver (I assumed it was silver when new)?

[Bruce Simcox]

Hi Will......

......I believe your badge to be silver when issued. The bronze like color is a result of the alloy we refer to as Tombak, that is the base metal, showing through.

Yes, original zinc Wurster, not an easy to find maker.

sorry,but this IAB is a Tombak Wurster.Silver.

I agree with Bruce and Michou, this Wurster example is made of tombak and is a worn silver grade.

Best Regards, fischer

Hide what? Think your a bit paranoid. I have 3 kids to feed so a mega camera is not a priority. I wont mind if you dont look at my pics. Regards

Well said, and welcome to the forum.
Also with limited funds it is possible to built a nice collection.
