2 x IAB for IDing and opinions
I received this two badges recently. Hollow zink, weight is 14.0 and 14,5 gr. They are seems like identical. Just would like to get your opinions on them and if possible a maker.
Thanks in advance,
Andrei

Both are original and are zinc based, hollow Reif/Mayer design IABs and share the same type flat C catch. Later issue, and one still has, what appears to be, the price written in marker on the backside. --Rgds, Ken

Hi
Based on the catch and hinge, both looks Zinc B.H. Mayer to me !

Hi Andrei,
I agree with Ken and Eric, both are fine originals by BH Mayer.

Hi Andrei
I think you may find that the hinges are different on the two, but original badges for sure, and imo, both classed as BH Mayer design, as already pointed out.
best regards
Graeme
