    Gentlemen,

    Sincerely,

    Jeremiah

      Hi Jeremiah

      Pass on this one!

      This is an old fake with the W. Hobacher mm on the reverse.

      Best Regards, fischer

          I believe this fake is called the "Claw Ball". That is the best way to tell this is not right.
          Here is one I have.

            Where does it get the name "Claw Ball" from? Sounds like it should be obvious but I dont see it.

              Some of these nicknames are not always intuitive. I am waiting for the "Numb Nuts" IAB.

                Take a look at the feet from the two examples. See the balls?

                  If the first picture was any good, It would be obvious what Dennis was pointing out.

                  cheers

                    This one is clearer. Other things are wrong with your badge. This is just to show the ball aspect.

                      I can see it now from that pic, is the one on the left supposed to be a good one? I have seen this feature before, was abit hard to tell from the first pic. The first thing I noticed about the badge was that the maker mark did not match the design of the eagle itself though. Going by that detail it looks more like a MK 1 IAB (The original badge of the thread)

                        I want to thank all of you for the help. The Balls are very recognizable if you know to look for them. Thank you all again for the help with this one.

                        Sincerely,

                        Jeremiah
