Notes to remember: Materials used: Zinc. Aurich IABs are the smallest IABs ever produced. Also, HA Company made IABs feature a unique hinge setup - which is not easy to produce, and for years has been difficult for fakers to reproduce. At some point fakes featuring the Hermann Aurich Company logo flooded the collector’s community, but they were easy to detect because of the incorrect "ball hinge" type hardware used on them. It is worth noting that recently a new generation of Aurich fakes came on the market, but this time the fakers tried to copy the correct hardware, but luckily for us the quality of their "product" is far from the original.
