Avitas Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hello gents,Just got this wonderful IAB stickpin on card in the mail today, a real beauty! It appears to be a zinc badge and has lost much of its finish, but a nice original set I would say. If any wizards out there can name the maker, that would be great, and thanks for looking.Later,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Here is a close up of the front of the IAB stickpin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 and finally, a close up of the reverse of the badge, a nice patina which definitely looks like zinc. Now all I need is a good zinc IAB to go with this! Please PM me if you have a spare you wouldn't mine parting with Thanks for looking and feel free to leave comments!Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg.hays Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Well, as to maker my best guess would be R.S. but a guess only. The design is certainly "Vienna" so could be RS, WH, FO who knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks Greg!Here is my new acquistion to go with the stickpin, a zinc RS IAB. It appears to be a perfect match. Now I just need the case to complete the set! Cheers.Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 and the back of the matching (I am pretty sure) RS IAB in silver, united with it's little buddy Any help on ID'ing it as a match or any other comments are great!Cheers,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 For good measure, one with the card as well. Notice the eagles heads and the butt of the rifle on each badge, an identical match! Also, it is amazing how the material and patina on these zinkers match up. Hope you enjoy them!Cheers yet again,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg.hays Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 They do look tailor made for each other, cazy how the wear and patina are very similiar. Great pair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
