Hi there,
Looks to me like a very nice, early ISA in buntmetall by Otto Schickle. These were unmarked and had a round wire catch, whereas I believe when they were closed down and B.H. Mayer took over the making and distribution, the badges were generally marked L/18 and utilised a standard flat wire hook. Better wait for some of the real ISA pundits to take a look though as this is only my best guess at the moment. I think these are considered pretty rare as well, so good score!
Hope i'm right, Ned.

like it.
Thank you too!
How about the condition? Is this still collectable?
-
I also agree...a good BH Mayer / Otto Schickle Design example with the round wire catch.
Looks to be in very nice shape and very collectable, congrats!
Best regards, fischer

Thanks fischer!
But now I got a message that Pin and Catch are seems to be replacements... now I don't know ...
-
Every Schickle that i saw had hardware like this one that i had. IMO the catch is a replacement. You can see the solder, dont remember seing that on Schickles.

Reason: Edited due to new pics appearing of catch.
