'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' being a maker- (ie. 'Frank & Reif'-) marked and/or quite converse, 'solid-back' example by the maker: 'Frank & Reif') as was executed in bright silver-coloured, zinc-based metal

This example is an attractive - and I deem only moderately used and/or worn - clearly maker- (ie. 'Frank & Reif - Stuttgart'-) marked award: it has a 'typical' catch- and/or hinge (-set-up) as is more often encountered with IABs by this particular maker. This specimen can be determined as a 'mid-war-period-variant' that can be attributed to the maker: 'Frank & Reif' as based in the town of Stuttgart. The badge was with certainly issued and comes in an only moderately used- and/or worn, condition (as can be seen on the pictures). It was (I deem) never cleaned nor polished and truly retains most of its (farily bright!) silver-coloured finish as can be seen on the pictures (something that is NOT always the case with these mid-war-period 'F&R'-marked 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 where it was recently found - shows as stated above only moderate wear, age and/or staining. Simply a very attractive 'solid-back' IAB-variant by the desirable maker 'Frank & Reif' that is with certainty accordingly priced!
