IAB up for review

[Hauptmann109]

so since some don't seem to like my stuff, I'm posting all that I accumulated in Canada, up for review.

The pin is a crude postwar repair for sure, but wondering about the badge itself.

Imo original Wiedmann with hinge repairing

I agree with Kray. The pin has been replaced in the hinge.

On another note, what is with the attitude? Seems to be a strange way to go about asking for help.

Maybe I'm the wrong man, but I don't like the cut under the swas (see from reverse side) and the "lilly pad" is not too good (maybe from repair?)
We can be sure, this badge is pressed (not cast?)

I agree, this is a good idea since many of your badges have turned out to be fakes.

I think this Wiedmann IAB is original, but just not the best strike. The reverse edges too seem a tad weak, but I have seen this before on originals. The obverse details are weak too, so I think it was just a bad strike. Reverse hardware setup looks OK, with the exception of the replaced pin ofcourse.
