Original Items: Only One Available. Called in German a Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen in Bronze, this genuine badge is constructed of bronzed zinc. Over time, the bronze can wear and flake off, showing the oxidized base metal, which is zinc. This example however still has quite a bit of the original bronze color, something we very rarely see. The steel pinback also retains quite a bit of the bronzing.
The design consists of an oval oak wreath tied together at the base via a ribbon, with a national eagle clutching a mobile swas, with a vertically oriented Karabiner 98k with the bayonet attached to the front of the barrel and the carrying sling hanging from the rifle superimposed on the wreath. The reverse of the award is maker marked with an overlapping AS inside a triangle, the trademark logo of Adolf Scholze of Grünwald.
The back also features a vertical pinback, with pressed in hinge and catch. It measures approximately 48 mm (w) x 63 mm (h) with a weight of 35 grams. This example is overall in very good condition, with lots of bronzing remaining, and a lovely patina.
The original box is in good shape, and still has the original brown tissue paper wrapper.
Overall a very nice example of this type of badge, complete with box, ready to display!
