    Couple new IAB additions

    Hi guys,

    Here are my two latest IAB additions that just arrived.

    First is a hollow, unmarked RSS in pretty nice condition. I have a marked solid-backed example, and have been looking for his hollow brother for a while now to complete the pair. The ball hinge and flatwire catch were soldered into the recesses on the reverse. At first I thought they might be a repair, but both the hinge and catch solder have the silver finish completely covering them, so I have to think this was done in the factory. Looking through my files, it looks like most if not all the hollow RSS badges have this same setup, with the hinge and catch soldered onto the reverse rather than crimped in. Anyone have a hollow example with crimped-in hardware?

    The 2nd badge is a Hermann Aurich with lots of silver finish left. When I bought it I had forgotten I just recently found one at the SOS, but I will keep both in the collector for now. These have a are nice looking eagle design, so I don't mind keeping both.

    Hope you like them as much as I do.

    Tom

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

                Nice additions Tom, you just have to love the thick finish on the RSS and the Aurichs with nice finish dont come to often also.

                            Thanks much guys

                            Andy, last count I have 58 IABs (only about 10 bronze ones though). That is probably only about 25% of all the variants out there

                            But you know what they say, its all in the thrill of the hunt

                              Thanks for the great comments guys. Here is one last addition that just got here today, an Egghead in decent condition. There are some really excellent fakes of these egghead badges, so I have been really studying this one and I am quite certain its a good one. I especially like the way the finish is fading on the reverse, very common to these egghead badges IMO.

                              Thanks guys, hope you like her.
