Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen Unknown

Hello gentlemen,
Any thoughts on this hollow tombak warbird?
Thanks!

Is it? Could it be? The Tombak version of Unknown maker #1 (1.18.1)?

If so, this is the second example in just a few days shown. (the other being a zinc version)

Opinions on Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen

Would love to see angled photos of the hinge and catch.

A beautiful specimen!

There's another example shown at the link below:

The angle of the "feet" of the hinge potentially look slightly different than the example I linked but it could just be the angle of the photos or just a slightly different "cut' when created.

That said, what I think is very telling is the stipple pattern at the top of the wreath. A bit hard to compare to the example in Heukemes' book but they seem to be the same. Like a fingerprint. A higher resolution photo of this area could help.

Anyway, I'm willing to be corrected but I still think it is from "Unknown maker #1" and think it is the same as in the link you provided as well.

Would love to hear opinions from others! As all I've said is just an opinion as well

Great example of Unknown maker !
