    Two IABs

    I know the one on the left is a Zinc Mayer, I believe it to be a good one. The one on the right looks good to me, but I cant remember which one it is, I swear I have seen it pop up on the forums, but cant remember the maker.

    Hi Rob

    To me it looks like an unmarked Deschler, a really nice design, especially the talons.

    Here is one for you to compare, this one has a different hinge to yours.

    regards

        Agreed, a zinc Mayer and a Deschler!

          You see, I was going to guess Meybauer on the one on the right.

            Hi Rob,

            Both nice originals, and I agree on the unmarked Deschler.

            Here is one of my Meybauer's for you to compare. Especially notice the talons and eagle's head compared to the Deschlers.

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

              Two very nice specimans. I think the IAB is one of the best looking HEER badges.

                Thanks for the closeups guys

                From my pics alone I did not notice just how weird the feet on the eagle looked
                From the comparisons I would say it is a good one. From the other examples shown I suppose this makers IABs hold their finish well.

                I like the designs on both. Think I will go for this pair for sure. Thanks for the help in identifying that one.

                  Hi Tom,

                  would you please ad the information why you use the a real maker name as nickname for this badge instead of it's former nickname to your post so that the community can follow your thoughts. Otherwise it's confusing for members who use the search function to gather more informations.

                  Thanks in advance

                    Hi Andreas,

                    I just did a search for "Meybauer IAB" and the first 10 or so results all feature this exact IAB, so there should be no confusion for collectors to search for this exact type of badge.

                    I think Giel made the connection to Meybauer about 2 years ago, so I don't even remember what the nickname was before then, maybe "cutout" or "diamond" or "slim stalk".

                      Yes it was diamond cut-out and missing leaf.

                        Hi Tom,

                        i made the search with "Meybauer IAB" too and yes there are several threads but they only picture this badge and only feature answers like this one:

                        Hi Gebhi,

                        I can only agree with Eric, a fine original Meybauer.

                        Tom
                        For a collector who likes to know the WHY there is no information, so i think a little more answer would be helpfull for every new collector since no thread feature how the connection was made.

                        So please give as some more informations on the why. As you agree it seems you know more.

                        Thanks in advance
                        Best regards, Andreas

                          I don't think that it isn't that long ago.

                            Hi Andreas,

                            Giel's original connection thread was March 2010, so alot longer than when it was announced on GCA in that newsletter you reference. Giel might have made a similar thread here on WAF back then as well.

                              i can't find such a thread

                              If you know where it is it would be nice if you could post a link here.

                              Thanks in advance.
