Attractive, 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' being a non-maker-marked and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based version (ie. 'crimped scooped rifle-variant') as was (I deem) procuded by the: 'S&L'- (ie. 'Steinhauer u. Lück'-) company
This is an attractive - minimally vaulted- ie. converse-shaped and I deem just minimally used ie. worn! - example of an: 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class assault-badge ie. IAB) being a typical non-maker-marked, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen (of the so-called: 'crimped scooped rifle-variant') as was (I deem) procuded by the: 'S&L'- (ie. 'Steinhauer u. Lück'-) company and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit surely issued- and/or just moderately worn-), condition. The badge is a typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that has lost most of its silver-toned-coloured finish (just the the back is neatly silver-toned): it has a typical 'Feinzink'-like age-patina. This particular example comes naturally mounted onto its functional (thin-shaped- and/or silver-coloured) pin which shows a typical 'crimped' mounting and/or: copper-toned catch as to be expected. The piece is very detailed and has a pronounced appearance: the award has I deem just been moderately used and shows some minimal wear ie. dirt on some the obvious higher-placed areas: it was however most certainly never cleaned nor polished. It originated from a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. The maker of this particular IAB is (I deem) the: 'Steinhauer u. Lück'-company and it deals with an uncommonly encountered so-called: 'crimped scooped rifle-variant'. In any case a very attractive and honest silver-class IAB that is most certainly accordingly priced!
