First, thanks for all the kind words. I must also thank my dad who helped me locate this badge. He saw it at a show while he was picking up two other badges for me. Here is another photo of the rest of my GAB collection.
Thanks,
Eric

A very nice, varied collection of GABs indeed. All maker maked?

Skip, two of the GAB's are hollow backs. One GAB is the Junker/Zimmeran piece and the rest all have different maker marks. The other maker marks that I have are; L/53, Wurster, Wernstein, One with the small w in the box, Assman, and a Assman with a 4. Thanks Skip for looking at my small collection GAB's.

I also like the way you have displayed them Eric.

By the sounds of it you only need a couple to have all the known, maker marked variations (FO, RS, A2, A3, F&R) the L/53 is definatly the hardest and most desirable to find though (for us MM collectors)

I still have a few to collect. Who knows how long that will take. At least this will keep me busy.
