      It seems to be a Rudolf Karneth with a less common hardware setup.

        Rudolf A. Karneth & Söhne, Gablonz.

            Fine original for me as well. Definitely made by RK in Gablonz, just not sure if "RK" stands for Karneth or Kriesel.

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

              looks like Karneth in my eyes too when I look at the eagle head they use to be like deformed or with big eye?
              My last GAB was same setup but with ball hinge as I remember.

                  Yes there are a few. The one you have is called "crimped in sheet metal hinge" Then there are with criped in bal hinge with a perfecty round top and bal hinge with a flattened top.

                    Hi Wim, thanks for the analysis.
                    So 3 different types.
                    I have also another GAB with the crimped in ball hinge.

                        You must be new to the world of collecting GABs. What you have is a classic original Karneth, as the other guys have said. Be aware that Karneth pumped out GABs like your by the boatload. It is far and away one of the most common GAB types, and probably the most common. A good starter badge though if you like the GAB motif.

                          Hi JJS, and thanks for your reply.
                          Actually i can't say i am new or not, because i am not starting a badge collection. I am a uniform/headgear guy. I just buy occasionally a few badges to complete my displays. Yes GABs are nice looking badges and i like displaying them along with IABs and EKs. I got another one today so in total i have 3.
                          IMO the best looking badges are the LW ones but a bit pricey. Definitely worth their money though.

                              Please give a little more in your replies, rather than just "unknown maker", especially in threads where a possible maker is talked about.

                              Toms comments show that other makers have been discussed on this forum, so there is doubt with Karneth, something to be aware of. The fact that it is not known for sure that Karneth or Kreisel made these badges could also mean another manufacturer was responsible.

                              Nice badges by the way

                              regards
