Nice Forster und Barth ASA Sindri. That replacement of catch maybe was period, it really look well made, but that catch can also be genuine actually. As far as I can see it is slightly different from few other original examples, so its really hard to tell.
Best regards,

Base plate of the catch should be smaller I think, but this one could be just some kind of variation.
Best regards,

Hello Franko
Yes thats true, the plate I have seen on other F&B gabs (that are not that many I must admit) is smaller, more oval.
But I have seen for example on Coastal Artillery badges from F&B a bigger plates, so it quite plausible that this one is period.
It does not look handled with, but until another one turns up with this plate its just a matter of belief I guess
All the best

I see nothing that suggests a replace/repaired catch.

Neither do I. Probably genuine catch, despite the fact it is different than on other examples of this ASA.
Best regards,

Very nice GAB Sindri, however I think the catch has been re-soldered looking at the L/21 presented here: GCA Forum | Access denied.

Thanks Jonas
Yes there are 2 variants of catches, the first like the one in GCA forum without any plate, but theres a second one with a identical catch as mine, but the plate is smaller in the shown example (Franks GAB book) and more oval. hmm... so its a little hard to say, at least for me.
But on the plus side, three GAB collectors have already contacted me and offered all kinds of exchange deals or cash, I would say thats a good sign.
So good even that I have decided to ride the GAB train and collect them along side what I already collect, wanna join me Jonas ?
hmm, they are really nice badges and maybe some day I will go for the GABs. Not right now, but you never know
I will probably buy one or two along the way.
