    IAB and GAB for review

    Hi, can you please have a look at my new badges, the GAB looks like a badge by unknown maker #4, but what is it made of? Is this a zinc or a tombak variant? I already have a zinc variant of this badge (here), but this one appears to be different and shows some copper color. Size is 53.4 x 42.3mm, weight is 13.2g.
    The IAB is magnetic, so made of steel or iron and looks like a SHuCo.

      Maybe it is copper coated. On the left wing below you see some dark grey so I guess the base metal is zinc.

        Steel "4 stem" IAB "Heubach design". And a Paul Meybauer GAB (zinc based). Brennlac on your Meybauer barely clingin'... I contend once again, that both received a clean, which hurts the value considerably. Here's a steel piece from my collection with alot of finish left... Notice the lack of that shine too.

            Both original, but the unmarked ShuCo IAB has a replaced pin.

            If it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a little

                    Well spotted Tom. Another issue I have is the stress crack running through the lower portion of that GAB.
