Hi John,



You've done what I did all the time when I first joined, this is the crosses forum so expect this to be moved.

The forum you want is below this one on the main index of the forum, Combat and Qualification Awards.

And to answer you question, well really it depends on the condition and to a degree the make if known and various other details (there are hollow back, different metal types etc which are more desired on the collectors market)

Is it possible to attain a picture of the badge, front and back.......if this is so we can determine the originality and perhaps a fair price you'd expect to possibly pay for the badge in question.

Do a search on the forum below, look on the forum tool bar and put in IAB or another description and see what comes up......for now out of interest.

Can you give any details of the badge at all, is there a maker mark on it, whats the condition like in your opinion and whats the asking price on this item.

I hope this may help, probably not but I hope others can be at least more constructive if we get a pic.

Kind regards,

Marcus

As a new member I don't think you can post pic's ???? Just yet anyway.

Send the pic's to me and I'll post them, but I can't promise to do it tonight I'm afraid.

[jontaylor]

Back to the question, what sort of price should i be paying?
And thats for all your help i will try very hard to get the right forum next time

[upbeek]

iab

about 55£ depending if it zinc or tombak ect ,maker marked,intact,most important original ,that pic is too small for examination chay

[theunionjack]

yep i would say the same

£50-55 quid depending that its all ok , and even if its mint you could try what i do flash the cash and insult him by offering £45 and a free ticket to lego land ? just beware of them bendy pins mate , i got stung with one about 5 years ago , i was so angry i pummeled it with a lump hammer and tryed to made a round for the musket ,

upbeak i will be taking you on L6 vs west yorkshire rifles (swords) you will be left with just a handle and a sword in about 8 bits? , , see you next week you ****
