Silver IAB for review and opinion - thanks for the help

[alessio cammelli]

Hello guys I need to sell some of my badges (almost all of them come from our e-stand). I got this Iab in a trade and being not an expert I want to be sure its a genuine one before it goes for sell.

Also any other suggestions and advise about maker and material will be very glad.

thanks to all in advance

Hello Alessio,

Looks like a good one, but the pin is a replacement IMO.

Best regards,
Tom

Well I take a chance here it looks like a B.H.MAYER.
The Catch is a typical Mayer for me but wait for the real IAB experts

Yes, I agree it is a Mayer, with replaced pin. Material is zinc.

Although they seem to have been labelled "Mayer" for convenience sometime in the past, there's never been a Mayer-marked version of this badge while that distinctive catch is found on many Schickle-marked wound badges and EK1s. Some call it the Type 2 Schickle-design based on the hardware, but even "unknown maker" is preferable to "Mayer" I think?

The same type of badge was discussed here:
