Hello Max,
I have never seen such a semi-hollow IAB with that kind of bayonet. It looks like the bolts of the handle where drilled in by hand. Also the rifle has on the barrel and the bolt not a lot of details. Normaly you can see a lot of details on these sections. I wouldn't want it in my collection.

Maybe an other member has somewhat positive info for you.

what happened to the eagles feet?

Sorry, I dont think this is real either.

It appears to have poor detailing overall.

Hello

This one doesn't look good to me.
Look at the acons, they look like hazelnuts!?

This is real (I think)
It's also unmarked.

Thanks for help,

Ok, it´s a 100% fake?

thank you all,

I will talk with my vendor. ja ja ja .

Best regards,


Max.

Dear Max,

fake or not, it looks like a badge that you should not keep in your collection in any case and bring back to your vendor. There are much nicer examples of this badge easily available even if it should be a sloppy made original, which is unlikely.

that´s right, frank.

i will take your advice,
