Heer Unknown Genral Assault Badge

[FrontlineAntiques]

Hi Chaps

I picked up a new GAB today as part of a mixed group i purchased (see here http://gmic.co.uk/in...opic=46835&st=0

Before i had it in my hand i believed it to be an unmarkd RS or Osang, but now im not so sure - the hinge and catch have thrown me.

What do you think?

All the best

I think this GAB is still classed as an unknown maker. Do you have any measurements for the GAB (height/width/weight)?

Stewy, that was my thinking - hopefully the measurements with corroborate this.

I think its #7 too. The pin and catch plate lead me to that. However I cant find my calipers so just bought some more from Evil bay. Will be a day or so until I can post measurements

In the meantime, what do e make of this one? My guess is Unknown Maker #1....

The second one's a Rudolf Karneth ball hinge variant. One of the most common types of ASA. Still a nice zincer . Stewy

As Stewy says the second is a ball hinge Karneth - very distinctive features on this GAB.
