Superb, 'hollow-back' 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver infantry assault badge ie. IAB) being a non-maker-marked example as executed in zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') as was produced by the: 'Wilh. Deumer'-company

This is a very attractive - and actually scarcely found! - example of an: 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class infantry assault badge ie. IAB) being a non converse-shaped-, 'hollow-back' and/or non-maker marked example as executed in (greyish-silver-toned) zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and that was produced by the desirable: 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company and that comes in an overall very nice- (I deem issued- albeit hardly- ie. even never used- nor worn-), condition. This example has a typical rectangular catch-set-up and typical catch and seems to be totally uncleaned and has still an attractive and/or somewhat 'tarnished' age-patina: most of its period-applied silver finish has been faded-away over the years (as more often). The pin and/or catch (ie. set-up-) are of course fully functional and present. The piece - which originates from a private household where it was recently found - shows some moderate wear and/or staining but was with certainty never cleaned. It should be noted that IABs as produced by the 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company are quite difficult to encounter and are not often offered for sale. Simply a nice occasion to acquire a scarcely encountered 'IAB-variant' that was produced by the: 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company as based in the town of Lüdenscheid and that is priced according to its comparative rarity and/or desirability!
