    IAB Bronze-Decisions, decisions!!

    I am in a quandary. I over-collected in some badges. To be exact:
    IAB-Bronze
    IAB-Silver
    GAB
    PAB-Bronze
    PAB-Silver

    I want to keep one example of each and move the others out to free up some cash for other collecting interests!
    I'll put five threads in here and try to describe what I know about them.
    I have my favorites, but I would like your input, if I may, concerning these badges.
    Condition is one thing. Rarity of maker and anomalies is another.
    Which one should I keep as the best representative of it's genre?

    For starters, here is the first of five IAB's in Bronze.

    The maker on this one is JFS and as a bonus, it still has the award envelope.

    Thanx in advance for the help.
    Tim

      #2 has no maker on the back. The strange thing about this one is that the pin comes out of the catch to the left instead of the right. A maker choice or a repair?

          #4 is an FZS
          I think this is a Bronze w/ little of the finish left, but I suppose it might be a silver.

                A lot of SHuCo's have left handed catches. Stewy

                  Hi
                  Iab in bronze by JFS with org. envelope is my favorite.
                  I own set like this and in my opinion JFS is one of the best quality maker and
                  very respectful and popular between collectors.
                  Regards,Fresco

                    All very nice Tim.

                    The catch on the SHuCo is perfectly fine facing left, that is common with this maker.

                    If you are only going to keep 1, I would suggest the MK1 as it is in the best condition, and a bit rarer to find than the JFS. The JFS is indeed nice and with the packet, but they are pretty common.

                    The others are all fine originals and nothing wrong with keeping all of them ofcourse

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

                      I would keep two:
                      MK1 and JFS.

                          I'm with Tom, keep the M.K.1. Those JFS's with packet are very common & are available in better condition. I'd keep the hollow or FZS. Stewy
