Hello,
the heer flak is imo a fake. The RSS IAB looks good to me, the second one is questionable. Some collectors like them, some don´t. I would not pay much for the second piece because of these reasons.
Regards,
Daniel

I agree with Daniels opinion.
Please do not post links. Upload pics direct to this server so that the threads retain their integrity. I have uploaded them for you this time.
regards
Graeme

Hi guys,
I would agree that the RS flak is a fake.
And I am in the group that think the hollow S&L IAB are post war, it has 57er type reverse hardware and was likely made around that time IMO.
The RSS IAB looks good, but very smooth. I am wondering if it has been cleaned and polished...
Tom

Tom,
Does the RS look Hero to you? Reminds me of hist castings. I could be off, but it is a nice job. The "solder" around the catch in particular.
Nick.

Hi Nick,
That was my first thought too, but I see some good points that are typically not on his fakes. And I also like the different metals of the badge versus the pin. So I think it has been polished up so much that it looks weird. But I will double check tonight.
Tom
