New acquisition.Looks good to me,but there are so many convincing ( at least to my eye ) fakes out there that I want to run it by the experts.
Thanks for looking.

Hi Steve,
Nice GAB type 1.25.1 by a so far unknown maker. These are pretty common, and are a close match to another unknown maker, the type 1.24. series. The only real difference being a slight design difference in the eagles head and the fact that the catch on the 1.25.1 opens to the right, whereas the 1.24 type opens to the opposite left side. It could be that both types are by the same maker, and the die was reworked at some time, but that's speculative.
Regards, Ned.

I'm with Ned. It's a nice example too! Stewy
