I have this tombak IAB in silver. It's in super condition, and I am very curious as to its maker. Thank you 😊

It's a SHuCo design. Are you sure it's tombak? Stewy
I am a little busy right now but if you have a look through the data base, you may find an example posted there.

I agree mate, a 4 vein solid zincer (these were never produced in tombak) comprising a variant steel hinge with a rectangular base. It's difficult to see the catch base due to the angle and excess solder, but I'm guessing circular?by Stewy S

Hi Ned and Stewie. It's a very heavy metal with a circular catch. I suspected SHUco. However, the material threw me off. It's a rather stunning badge in hand. It has no silver wash or finish. It's metal?
The photos I took are very close up once you click on the enlarge icon. It's an alloy of some type. It has always interested me.
That is taken for granted, don't worry.Even so, at the angle of the pic, you still can't see the catch plate no matter how much you magnify it. It matters not, the badge is a good 4 vein solid zinc unmarked SHuCo design.
Regards, Ned.

I suppose the front has a higher degree of finish due to the reverse being a bit duller in appearance
Thank you Ned I appreciate your services once again 👍
