Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber, B.H. Mayer,Schickle Tombak
Another addition to my IAB collection.
This example is made of tombak and is the second example like this that I have acquired. The other example has a round wire catch while this one has a flat catch. I don’t want to refer to it as "flat wire" because it is not made of wire but rather a flat plate soldered to the reverse. This one also has quite a bit of wear to the finish but still some silver finish remaining. The golden tombak color can be seen where the finish is worn, mostly on the high points.
