Infantrie Sturmabzeichen in Silver, Friedrich Orth, L/14.
A hew addition to my IAB collection.
This solid zinc example is maker marked L/14 for the firm of Friedrich Orth. While most that we see are marked with the initials F.O., these are seen less often.
It has a sheet metal, wrap around, oval hinge, soldered within the mounting guide lines. It has a round wire "?" shaped catch, soldered directly to the reverse of the badge.
This example retains most of it’s silver finish.
