MK6 Silver IABs

[Stepdale]

Hello,
Wanted to show you my new MK6 silver IAB along with the one I already had. I'm reasonably sure they're original and not monkeyed with, but wanted to get your opinions just to be certain. Also I plan to sell my old one but before doing so, wanted to let those with expertise in variants take a look. To my old eyes they look like twins but I know there are those out there tracking variants who can tell me for sure.
Thank you,
Dale

Anybody? I haven't seen any decent replicas of these, probably because they are fairly hard to find, but would like to be sure for my peace of mind. Also, just want to be sure there aren't any known variants of these - I don't think there are but I don't have a good IAB reference book - before I sell the one with the zinkpest. Yes, it's rough, but the MK6 is one of the hardest to find of the series and it took me over 10 years to find these two.

Hi Dale,

Both fine originals for me. The new one you picked up is in much better condition than the other one. For sure not the easiest IAB to find.

Hi Dale

......A original pair of MK6 IAB's if I've ever seen any. Those are not easily found as you know. Very nice to see even one, and you manage to come up with two.

Thanks, Tom and Bruce, it took a lot of patience and being in the right place at the right time to find these. I now have silvers in the whole series except for the MK5; I have not seen one of these for sale in the 10 years that I have been looking.
