Hi there, pics ain't the best but I think it's okay. Stewy
M.K were part of the Gablonz conglomerate. Stewy
As Stewy says, part of the Gablonz gang. The set up for the M.K.4 IAB in bronze was identical to the Tank Assault Badge in this thread currently running on the forum. Note the flat topped ball hinge and the flatwired catch that's wider at the top than the bottom.

Hi John
I agree with what my two friends have stated, a good M.K.4 in bronze grade from the Gablonz area.
It is unfortunate about the missing hardware.
The M.K.4 examples are the second most common ISA in the M.K. 1-7 series with the M.K.5 being the rarest and the M.K.1 the most prevalent.
That said, the M.K.4 in bronze is not encountered often and even though the hardware is missing, this badge is still somewhat collectible.
