    Gab f.o. for review

    Hello everybody,

    here is my gab with mm f.o., which I own for 20 years. The surface is a bit rough.

    The hinge/pin is very strange for me. It´s Buntmetall and looks like a Wurster hinge. What do you think? Everything original, a badge with a repaired hinge or a completely fake?

    Best regards
    Thorsten

      It´s not easy to see on my pics, but the maker mark comes out of the badge.

      I wasn´t able to find other pics of f.o. gabs with this kind of hinge.

            Hi Thorsten

            Perfectly fine example of FO. The hinge is indeed very interesting and does not looks like a replacement to me at all!
            Kind regards,
            Giel

                Hi Thorsten,

                For me a perfectly fine original as well. The block hinge is not something I have seen on an FO GAB before, however the same exact hinge was used by Orth on some of their IABs and PABs, so its logical to think that this variation would be found on their GABs as well.

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

                  So it seems to be a less common variant.

                  Thanks a lot.
