George, the IAB is a un-marked BSW. Their logo is usually in a three leaf clover. The badge is a good one. However, the bag does not match the badge.

Hello


IMO the IAB is ok but I don`t like the bag.

Chet I don't think it's a BSW. The crimping technique looks very similar to the one BSW used on their late versions but the design is completely different.

designwise (obverse), it is a ShuCo.

[Chet Sowersby]

Philippe & Frank, I'am sure your right. I'am at work so I can't review the obverse on my two. Its just that the reverse set up jumped out at me and I went with that.

I agree Frank. Seems at a certain moment they all switched to crimping. But why ? Was that technique so much more cost effective?

Don't worry this bag is genuine in my opinion, I have one the same which came from a vet.

This is a more 'rare' (less often often encountered) packet and a very nice one indeed, a keeper !!

Kind regards,

Marcus

Hello Gentelments!

Of course it is not BSW.
The project of this IAB is very similar to S.H.u.Co.
But taking into account that Sohni, Heubach & Co firm based in Oberstein, it can be that Gottlieb & Wagner
used S.H.u.Co.'s project in producing IAB,because it also based in Oberstein.
