Here's the collection so far. The stick pin, however is a staegemeir fake with the mark WH. Could be worse though as I didn't pay much for it.

Nice pick-up on the f,o, GAB Dave. Rare and desirable. Has the correct hardware and plenty of the "ali" finish left.

Thanks Ken. I was pretty excited to get this one.

Bit of a contradiction, eh Dave? Orth was a Vienna maker and from what I heard Stagemaier is an Austrian too.

I didn't find out about the stick pin until just today after searching through his site, but it no longer resides in this case and is now in a junk drawer until a Bazaar thread gets started. No fakes in my cases is the rule here.

Good place for it Dave. The guys stuff seems to be crawling out of the woodwork everywhere... including Torres' PAB.

Was Torres PAB a Staegemeir? or another type fake? He usually has mint fakes and not use to seeing worn fakes from his site.
Let's see we have
Daniels Brehmer GAB
My GWL IAB
My WH GAB mini bought a while ago
Torres F.O. PAB possibly?
This guy should be jailed at the very least.

Hi Dave. I don't know if Torres is in fact a Stagemaier fake, but a well made one. Please see the Torres thread. You'll see what I mean...

[Panzercracker]

Jailed and sued...

[blutundehre]

I have been following that thread and yes it is very well made and in the same fashion as the staegemeir fakes, but his trademark is mint fakes from what I see.

Nice original Dave, in great condition too. Still missing a nice Orth for my GAB collection, hope I can find one in such nice condition as yours.

Wow Tom I didn't think these were that rare? You'll be the first to know if I sell it. I was very excited to get this one in-hand. I love the hardware, hinge to be exact.
