    I don't have my material so won't opine on authenticity (hopefully others will be around soon).

    But it is not an SS award. It is a General Assault badge that was awarded to Heer and SS.

    I will add, based on my poor memory that I do not recognize the reverse hardware set up. Casting looks a bit crude below the bayo and grenade as well with lots of burrs and excess material. You can also see clear lines around the wings of the eagle. Leading me to believe this is a cast repro.

    But again. Don't have me reference materials.

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    It is not the level of quality that I would like to see for on a Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen. Also seeks to lack the level of detail. Wait for other opinions.

    Ok cool, thanks I was a bit sus because it has no makers marking on the back, but I’m learning so I thought I’d give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Just as an FYI. Not having a maker mark has nothing to do with authenticity.

    But this one has all the hallmarks of being a cast fake IMHO.

    Study and you will catch on quickly. It's not rocket science for 99% of fakes out there. You just have to pay attention to the details. But hey....I could be wrong on this one
