Gab

[Jurgen E]

Who is the maker for this GAB? Is this a common maker or a little hard to find? Thank you for your help. Jurgen

Hi Jurgen,

It looks like a Gebrüder Wegerhoff of Lüdenscheid, but with replaced hardware. IMO the hinge, pin, and the 'c' part of the catch are not original to the badge.

Best regards,
Tom

Tom is correct I believe about the repairs.

These are not easy to find. Even in this worn and repaired condition it is a desirable badge. I like it.

I agree with the guys above. Scarce GWL with replaced hardware.

I also agree: an original GWL with replaced/repaired hardware.
Nevertheless a very rare GAB, with a nice finish/condition of the obverse.

Hard to find GWL all cut out GAB. The hinge and pin are replacements but the catch is a proper variant by this manufacturer.

Thank you all for your help! Much appreciated. Jurgen

Hi Jurgen

Just nice to find one with the cutouts even with the mentioned hardware issues.
