Iab

[Ralph Arndt]

Guys I would like your opinions on this badge. The catch is on backwards and it has a dish back. Thanks for your time, Ralph

Hi,

in my opinion it's an original IAB in SHuCo design, but the observe looks to be refinished.

It's a 5 stem "Heubach design", and likely a later production. Here's my earlier bronze "5 stemmer" for comparison. I agree with Sven on the "hasty" repaint as well...

Could help to have the pics... Here's my bronze example...

Hi Ralph

I like it too, a nice original.

With some badges it is difficult to determine the finish from such pics.

Try posting straight on shots of the obverse and reverse, even try a scanner. It makes it easier on the eyes.

best regards
