IAB assistance please

Hi guys,

Can any of you experts out there help me with this? It appears to match several in threads on this site but can I get another opinion?

Regards

Hi Smak,

Thanks, I have already checked this thread out before posting and have asked for better pictures from the seller.

the only difference between the one you're showing, mine and Lorenzo's is the catch on Lorenzo's. here's a pic of the catch on mine...it's bent a bit...

Hi Smak,

There are very good similarities between the pictures. The only thing that concerns me is that this type may have been faked and I dont know about it.

Hi Steve. Better pictures would help, but the badge looks good to me. The catch on mine is a late-war variation also used on the later RSS HSF badges. The larger catch on yours and Smaks is the earlier type and is correct for that badge.

Steve, I like it and would be happy to have it.

Hi guys,

Thanks Smak, Chet and Lorenzo, it looked pretty good to me but there is always that nagging doubt that you might have missed something that someone else would notice.

Regards

Steve
