I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination, that being said, the first IAB appears to be a Funcke and Brunninghaus, possibly in the bronze grade. These are heavy badges, the two I have run close to 40g. Regards, Dave

I think better pics are in order on all these badges. Main reason, is it's difficult to assess the finishes, especially the hardware. That said, I'm with Dave on 1st being made by F&B. 2nd is a Mayer design (likely Schickle), with repaired hardware, and, a possible replaced pin? The Assmann GAB could be a steel issue piece, so check and see if a magnet sticks to it, but, unfortunately missing it's catch. The flak is a write-off.

Ya, I think it's steel too. Looks like rust on the obverse.

I agree with this too, good Assmann in steel but with missing catch.

All the badges look original to me, with the exception of the flak. Not in the best condition though and with some repairs.
