Infantry assault badge in Silver(Infanterie Sturmabzeichen).
These are never maker marked but produced by the company Otto Schickle.
Early version made of buntmetal.
Excellent condition. Look a lot better in hand than what the pictures show.
Very nice silver wash with polished areas as they were from the factory.
Catch, hinge and pin are complete and in working condition.
We showed this badge on the Germancombatawardsforum. Fully approved without discussion.
These Schickle IAB's in buntmetal are hard to find but the small blob on the upper ring make it really rare.
This only the 2nd badge seen with this manufacturing blob, in the other case it was a blob in the face of the eagle.
If you are looking for a variation that is more or less impossible to find, this is it.
