AN IAB and BWB For Review

[bobbyricigliano]

As I continue the uphill slog of acquiring knowledge in spotting fakes, I submit these pieces to the WAF community for opinions. Both were purchased from other users on this board, and thus I presume them to be original.

The request for opinions is meant in no way to impune the honesty of the sellers, but rather a testament to the high level of subjectivity among collectors and the pieces they buy and sell.

Thanks all,
BR

#1 IAB, no maker's mark present.




#2 Black Wound Badge. If marked, I can't see it.

Hello,

IAB is an original SHuCo.
Wound badge is good for me too but I don't know the maker.

Thanks Greg, I really appreciate the input.

IAB is a textbook example.
BWB is most likely unissued but lookgs good.

There are times when I think the word "textbook" is overused in describing original items.

But when someone used that term for something I own, I think it sounds great!


Thanks
