Very nice 4 Rivet ASA Ron, congrats. Stewy

Hi Ron,

Indeed, textbook original 4-Rivet GAB. Finish is a bit faded as expected, and I think a little vaseline bath would certainly help clean up the little spots of zinkpest and help bring out any silver finish remaining. Either way a fine original of a relatively uncommon type of GAB.

What is that enameled disc next to it, never seen something like that before?

Hi Tom, I spoke to Ron. It's brass, it must have been attached to something bigger but I can't decide what it's off. Obviously it was screwed or riveted to that "something". I've seen an item similar recently but for the life of me I can't remember where. Stewy

[RonR]

As Stewy has indicated per our conversation, it is made of brass, and was obviously removed from being affixed to something else......

Thanks Ron, as I said it can't be Vet related. And I doubt it's a divisional thing. Wish I could remember where I saw the other brass enamelled ensignia that had two fixing points the same, but wasn't an ASA. Stewy

Very interesting piece, never seen it.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the detailed pics Ron. Clearly someone created it based on a GAB badge and interesting that they took the time to enamel it too. Nice obscure piece, thanks for showing.
