Hymmen IAB

[Greg]

I was out visiting the high desert area of southern California on some military work, and during a break I visited a little antique store. One of the displays had some TR stuff; most of it was fake, but not this! A little beat up, but I didn't have this type so I couldn't resist.

Best,

Still trying to hold room open in that case for the other PABs I need, but I guess I will have start another case soon (need room for the someday CCC, sub badge, destroyer, other IABs, etc).

Very nice Hymmen hollow zinker Greg, congrats on stumbling onto this one...

Did you visit Twentynine Palms?

Great collection BTW!

Thanks, Don! This trip I was at the Army equivalent, the National Training Center at Fort Irwin. 109 degrees during most of the time I was there.

Best,
Greg

Hi Greg

It might be a little beat up, but when they are like this, imo there is no fear regarding originality

Great to see your Hymmen collection getting ever larger. The west wall looks a great set with the packet looking in superb condition.

congrats

Nice find Greg. I have never really found anything good at antique shops, especially to find a pretty uncommon type of badge like this Hymmen. Very nice.

Tom,

Me neither, usually, in fact the display case had a fake HA PAB, fake F&BL CCC, crude fake Ostmedaille, and other than that just common KVKII etc, but I picked up the IAB first!

Thanks,
Greg

You had some luck for sure, ànd a Hymmen on top of it! It as intended to find you, not the way around

When I would visit 100 antique shops here in Belgium I'm sure I wouldn't find a thing.

Nice find.
