IAB help

**Doomula5000** · 07-27-2009, 01:22 AM

This is my first IAB. It was a good price for a first example. There is no makers mark visible and the bottom clasp looks strange. Any help would be great.

Could be an unmarked Wiedmann. Stewy

Straight on pics of the obverse & reverse are more helpfull than obscure angle pics,things can look distorted. Stewy S

Fischer thinks it's a B&NL & after looking closer i tend to agree with my mate. Stewy S

I have been trying to get my pictures better. My first ones were horrible

B&NL is Berg & Nolte of Ludenschield. Stewy S

Hi

You selected a very nice IAB for your first one.

As stewy stated, it's a Berg & Nolte with wrap around hinge. These IMO are not easy to find. From what I can tell with these pics the badge looks good. Scans would be much better. Catch could have been reattached or just a sloppy solder job.

Here is my example to compare.

Best Regards, fischer
