Hi, this arrived today with the mail, my latest IAB in silver unmarked in cardboard box. (I collect all my badges and medals with the original cases and packages)
Hope you like it.

Hi Kokstok,


Would it be possible to post a bigger picture of the obverse of you IAB?

Very nice unmarked JB&Co. Note the unusual stippling on the oakleaves.

IMO one of the nicest designs of IAB

JB&Co unmarked

Fellow forumites,

When i saw this IAB, something felt wrong. I then decided to
do a search on the forum, to see what has been said about
the JB&Co-badge. This is what i found.

The first thread was from Yuri 01-16-2002. A list of IAB-manu-
facturers was presented and differently marked badges was called
for. Björn Jervas confirmed the JB&Co-marked badge.

The second thread was from Mark Schroeder 01-26-2002. A nice
JB&Co-marked badge was presented by Mike K. and again confirmed
by Björn. The badge was semi-hollow and had a complete round
ball-hinge. Referrence was also given to Tim Curley´s article in "Der
Gauleiter" from 1992.

When Kokstok presented his badge, four members gave it and
Roman presented an unmarked semi-hollow with the JB&Co-
characteristics. I have no problems with Mike´s and Roman´s
badges. I also know that there is a world outside the forum and
that acceptence can be found elsewhere. What I can´t understand
is the unconditional approvel of Kokstok´s unmarked flat-reversed
badge.

Compare this badge with a flat-reversed Hermann Aurich Panzer (by
"all" considered fake). I don´t know what gave the Aurich-badge
away, but I shure would like to know what makes Kokstok´s an
original, considering the lack of previous illustrations (at least to
my knowledge on this forum). If I´ve missed something here (which
I probably have), please enlighten me.

Regards
Peter

sorry,

unmarked flat-reversed badge. Compare this badge with a flat-reversed
Hermann Aurich panzer (by "all" considered fake). I don´t know what gave
away the Aurich badge, but I shure would like to know what makes
Kokstok´s badge original, considering the lack of previous illustrations
(at least to my knowledge on this forum). If I´ve missed something
here(which I most probably have) please enlighten me.

Regards
Peter
