This IAB has been sold, but its a fake, I hope the buyer get his money back.

Sadly the WAF watchdogs were sleeping on this one, and it slipped through the cracks.

And now it's well on it's journey around the globe...

But rest assured the buyer will be refunded, while I am not perfect, I am one of the good guys!

I have had these before with the unique characteristic of the saw cut between the swazi, so for my future enlightenment, share with me what you know about this kind of badge:

Hi Jerry,

If I well see it, then the hardware is very poor ( the catch and the hinge system ). The eagle's head is bad, too.

Best regards,
Gabor

I agree, this is a poor reproduction. its a copy of the S&L design, but horrible hardware which looks like they almost cast the reverse hardware from the original.

Thanks guys,
Always learning...
I am more of a "cloth guy" myself, and we did run it past a few old schoolers, but its hard to keep up with everything.

I though the back was odd, but I have seen these before so I thought it was just unique to the maker (well I suppose it is) but that maker is as we say "FFC" ( the Fakey-Fake Company...)
