Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen

[jova]

Dear friends,

I would like to ask you for assistance in determining the origin of this Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen. I bought it as an original. It is not marked. What is your opinion, is it original? Thank you for your answers and any comments.
Yours sincerely Juraj

Hi there,it's a good ground dug or at least a very corroded R.Karneth ball hinge ASA. You have a lot more answers if it was in the badge forum. Perhaps one of the Admin could move it there for you. I can't do it from here. Stewy S

Can you post straight on pics of the obverse & reverse please. Stewy S

Hallo Stewy,
I am sending you pics. I hope that this is pictures, that you write about.

Hi,i'm not so keen with the new pics i must say. These are the only pics of my R.Karneth i can find right now. I've seen a couple of R.K corroded copys just lately. Stewy S

Hi Stewy , those are two great looking badges , and the one to the right of the picture looks outstanding ! Is that issued for 25 years service or for something else ?

cheers Al

Hi Al,it's a GAB "25". Issued for 25 engagements with the enemy. Standard GAB's were issued after 3 engagements. Stewy S

Another R.Karneth variant,crimped block hinge type. Stewy S

Hi Stewy , thanks for that info , ( makes sense now ) but i love the detailing to feathering on the legs , breast and wings of the eagle , fab Do you see many of these on the market or are they reasonably rare ?

cheers Al
