    IAB, PAB, OR GAB BOX.
    Just the box but I thought I would post my latest arrival.
    It doesnt feel like cardboard or sound like a modern cardboard if you gently tap it with your finger, and its very well manufactured. I hope thats useful information. The PAB was just for decoration.

    regards John

    Hello John

    IMO it's a so-called Cloud box for an IAB. These came with BSW crimped hardware IAB's.

    There are some Green, Pink-Purple and Red fakes about, but from what I can tell this is a good one.

    Here is two of mine, one opened and the other still factory fresh unopened...

    Best Regards, fischer

    Box looks ok from pics. Close ups would help. The glue used is often a sign of authenticity. Some fakers use modern glues. Stewy

    Cool looking box, I don't have any of these. Fischer, damn one heck of a nice unopened one. If you don't mind me asking? appx how much do these go for? The ones I saw that bill shea had-were just in unmarked or designed plain brown cardboard boxes.

    Hi Guys

    This is where I found these two treasures...It was a BSW "Hoarde" find after Eastern Europe opened up. I was lucky enough to get these two. Here is how they came, this pic is courtesy of the seller...I would love to have had the chance to buy the whole lot...:(

    Best Regards, fischer

    Hi Stewy, I think that JFS hoard find is the same maker that bill shea got ahold of when he got his box full of them.
