2 IABs for review

[tenten]

Hi, I can get these 2 IABs, first one a pillow crimp, second a Deumer, are they OK?

Thanks for your review!

Is the finish of the pillow crimp considered good or should I look for better examples? Looks good to me, but I don't know about how these tend to lose their finish.

Hello Tenten

The pillow crimp and its finish look good to me, but the bronze IAB looks like a Deschler, and I don't like it.

On second thought not Deschler...yes, deformed leaf (Deumer) with the hardware repaired. IMO

Both IABs look ok to me.

From those pics imo it is difficult to tell how the finish of the pillow crimp really is. It for sure is not mint and may have a few areas that have been affected over time.

Hello

I agree with Graeme and both IAB's are good.

Condition wise, it is difficult to say with these pics.
Both images look to have been adjusted to improve the appearance of the finish.

I would ask for better scans.

Best Regards, fischer

Hi Dirk,

I agree, both are original but both are quite common as well so I would wait for one in better condition.

That is how looks a "Pillow crimp" in good condition

Best regards.
