IAB in Silver for Review - marked JFS

[BaselA]

Hi all,

I am completely new to badges, in fact this is the first I have ever owned. It came with a uniform grouping I purchased along with a wound badge. I wanted to post it here and hopefully get some additional information on rarity of the maker, material, time period etc. Anything would be helpful - I am simply trying to learn as much as I can about these. From what I understand, JFS is a fairly common maker. Incidentally, I am surprised by how heavy and solid this thing is!

Although JFS IABs are common in bronze, they are a bit uncommon in silver. And from what I see, yours is perfectly original. Congrats on your first one! It's desirable.

Your JFS looks like fine original to me

Yes a good one, with nice finish.

Thanks guys, I must say I wouldn't mind getting a bit more into badges now!

Btw, what would a badge like this be worth? I would never sell it exclusive of the entire group, but would just like to have an idea of the value.
