It is actually marked L/11 which is for Wilhelm Deumer and I am not sure that I have ever seen an IAB like this marked in this way. I do believe it is a Rudolph Karneth award.

minty one.
I'm with Ralph on this one, a Die 1, 5 vein 'unpebbled' minter.

I apologize Ralph, will do in the future. Thanks, Rob.
Hi Rob
A minty original as Ralph, Harry and Ned have stated...Yours is an unpebbled Die/Type 1 (5) vein variation.
These are purportedly manufactured by Rudolf Karneth. Please see the post below for further information.

If it is truly a maker mark "11" on this attributed R. Karneth and not just random variation, it is something I have not encountered before.
When patchy marks like this are stamped into the reverse of a badge, I am usually very skeptical.
If it is a marking, it's hard to say when the "11" was applied.
I do think it will always cause some level of doubt in regards to authenticity.
Best Regards, fischer
