Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me Identify this IAB
I have looked at a number of photos but still can not seem to nail it down.
I know the case is reproduction.
Thank you Raymond

Hi Raymond,
Pic's aren't the best, but it looks to me like an unmarked Weidmann IAB that's got a possible repaired wrap around hinge. Best wait for other opinions though.
Regards, Ned.

I am delighted my guess has been validated by both you and Tom on WAF Ralph, it is humbling to be able to be standing on the shoulders of giants.

Hi Raymond
As stated...this one is an original E. Ferd Wiedmann Design ISA.
The hardware set up is all correct and has not been repaired/re-attached.
The excessive solder around the hinge that Ned mentions is a common attribute for this variant.
In my studies, I have found four different vein patterns using the Wiedmann Design and yours is what I refer to as the Die 3.
Here is my example with matching obverse to compare.
Best Regards, fischer
Thank you all for the photos and information
