Early IAB.

[Maciej G]

Hello.

I got it many years. I know it's early, and has an interesting swastika.
I have never determined the 100% of the manufacturer.
IAB is not my field. You say more?
I look forward to your comments!

Best regards.

Hello Maciej G.,

in my opinion it's an original so called "Cut-Out" IAB attributed to Paul Meybauer.

Hi Maciej

I like it too

Very nice used appearance.

You will find mentioned in many threads, that this design shows up often with slight differences from badge to badge, adding to their appeal.

best regards

Hi Maciej,

Gorgeous early Meybauer, very lovely and desirable badge. Love the hand filing of the swastika and wings, just a great all-around early badge.

Thanks Nigel, but I already downloaded them when I bought it from him... --BTW, what's really unique about this one, is the higher "tuft" on the eagle head and no "cut-out" in the lower leaf. Slightly "thicker" in the rifle area, compared to other examples. Interesting and very early variant. It's never been "messed with" or cleaned in a good long time. These early Meybauer are among the best -design and material.
