Are you sure about this? Not sure if there was a discovery that I may have missed, so let me know. But according to Frank's book, it's either F&R or BH Mayer. The difference is not in the catch (they both can have flat stock catches) but the type of hinge.

Andy,
Can you do top picture of the hinge, somewhat angled up? For me, that will tell.

Honestly, I don't have Frank's book, but I'm sure it's a good one. But, since the ISA, by Mayer has also the flaT "C", I'd say that's a better than fair assumption, especially when the ISAs with the flat "C"s are not associated to F&R. Also, the semi-hollow and solid marked F&R GABs have the round "C". I'm going primarily on the ISA comparison though.

Hi Andy,

I think you might now owe your friend a beer in return (really a win-win situation isn't it?)

Your GAB looks like another nice Schickle badge. The discussion on Daniel's Schickle IAB in this thread applies to your GAB as well:
