Attractive, 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber', being an unmarked (and/or converse- ie. vaulted-) 'hollow-back' example by the maker: 'Friedrich Linden' (ie. 'F.L.L.') as executed in greyish-silver-coloured, zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzin...

The particular example on offer here is an attractive - and I deem never or only minimally used and/or worn - non-maker-marked war-badge: it has a 'typical' catch- and/or hinge (-set-up) as is more often encountered with IABs by this particular maker. I deem that this example can with certainty be determined as a 'mid-war-period-variant' that can be attributed to the maker: 'Friedrich Linden' (ie. 'F.L.L.') as was based in the town of Lüdenscheid. The badge was with certainly issued and was I deem hardly ie. never worn: it still came packed in its period-piece of thin-shaped 'wrapping-paper' as found (as can be seen on the pictures). It was I deem never cleaned nor polished and truly retains all of its silverish-grey-coloured finish as can be seen on the pictures (something that is NOT always the case with these mid-war-period 'FLL'-examples). The pin and/or catch (ie. set-up-) are of course fully functional and/or present (they are both in pristine condition). The piece - which originates from a private-household in Germany where it was recently found - shows as stated above hardly any wear nor staining. Simply a very attractive 'hollow-back' IAB-variant by the desirable maker 'Friedrich Linden' (ie. 'F.L.L.') that is with certainty accordingly priced!
