'Variant'-pattern, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example of an: 'Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen in Silber' being a non-maker-marked example as was produced by the Austrian maker (ie. 'Hersteller') 'Rudolf Souval' based in Wien (Vienna)

This is an attractive - and just moderately used! - 'Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class infantry assault-badge) which is as stated above a non-maker-marked example (as more often encountered with awards by this Austrian maker) but that is a typical piece as was produced by the: 'Rudolf Souval'-company as was based in the town of Wien (ie. Vienna) in Austria. The badge - which has truly pronounced detaill - comes naturally mounted onto its functional (and/or unaltered!) catch, pin- and/or hinge (-set-up) as to be expected. The piece is executed from silverish-coloured, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based metal and has maintained a neat (hardly darkened) silverish-coloured- and/or typical 'zinc-based' finish (as to be expected). The badge - which was most certainly issued and that was truly worn - shows some age and/or staining but was never cleaned nor polished: it has a nice, somewhat shiny age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). These desirable - and non-maker-marked! - 'variant'- ie. 'classic set-up-' IABs as produced by the 'R.S.'-company can easily be graded 'fairly scarce'. I deem that I have priced this just moderately worn and fully untouched example, accordingly!
