Hi Cam,
It looks like an early hollow FLL IAB in feinzink, the later hollow production having a variety of different rear set ups, quite highly vaulted in comparison, and being made from pot metal. It has wear on the high spots of the obverse side that look unnatural to me, as if the badge has been mechanically polished or linished at some time.
Regards, Ned.

No problemo mate. From what's known, FLL only made a small initial run of these badges in Nickel Silver before turning to feinzink. They were apparently never made in tombak, but I understand that the maker doesn't matter and the concern is for a nice tombak piece although these do carry a premium price. Good luck in your quest amigo!!
Regards, Ned.
