GAB Opinions?

[Greg Kubasek]

Howdy,

Well so far I have found out that two items in my collection are fakes, I thought I would present my GAB up for opinions. Any help you folks can provide is invaluable to me.

Everyone on this forum has been such a stand up bunch already!

Dear Greg,

That type of GAB was under suspicion for a while, because of the file mark pattern on the reverse and the predominantly great condition these are found in. However, ground dug and genuinely aged GABs of this kind were found, also GABs of that unknown maker in groups. There is no reason to doubt these GABs and you have a very nice example.

Finally some good news Greg, it is a real one.

Good to hear!

Thanks for the help guys! I feel better knowing that this is a good one. After getting a couple negatives on two pieces I was starting to worry about everything I have and this one I will admit looked a little off compared to some of the other GAB's I have seen here. It sure seems like there is a wide range of them
