hollow GAB opinion please

[Gabor Tischler]

Hi guys,

Please write me yours opinions that what do you think for this GAB?
The eagle's head look like as an F&R with the bayonet, but the area of swastika is not cut-out and the catch is not the usual.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Gabor

Hi Gabor,

The obverse looks really soft and pitted on this example, quite different from the typical BH Mayer badges we see. Also, I have never seen that type of hinge on a BH Mayer, so that is highly questionable as well. F&R GABs used this type of hinge later in the war on their solid-back examples, but based on the pitted obverse I would leave it alone.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your opinion. I don't like it, too so I will leave it.

All the Best,
Gabor
