Heavy IAB for review

[chris clark]

One of today's finds
It's quite heavy and thick compared to others I have held
I hope the pics show this
Any reviews most welcome and the maker would be fantastic

Hi Chris,

Very nice example. I believe it is an unmarked 'L/56' Funke & Brüninghaus, Lüdenscheid.
These are very hefty badges and typically weigh in at about 39 grams.

Best regards,
Tom

Here is one just like yours, Chris.

And here is a marked 'L/56' for comparison. A different attachment setup on the reverse, but otherwise the same details and outlines as the unmarked badge.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom thank you very much
The weight is 39 grammes

I agree, an unmarked L/56.
Quite large and heavy compared to other makers.

The weight is 39 grammes

Spot on!

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

Indeed, a very nice unmarked F&BL with the uncommonly seen crimped hardware. Here is one of my crimped examples, also weighing in at 39 grams
