Hi Glenn

The only sturmtruppe badge was in zinc and produced by Gurschner atelie in Wien.
I hope you didn,t pay a lot of money for those you posted...
Those type of badges made in Czech republic ...and sell like trench art...

Ulbricht's Catalog, 1917...
I've had the brass field-made piece for years and didn't pay much for it...
Here are other examples...

Hi all,

Here is another in bronze. Purports to be by Otto Gahr of Munich. Measures 55mm top to bottom.

Is this a Czech fake?

Hi All

for Sturmtruppen topic (history, equipment, badges) I recommed you a great book by Militaria Verlag from Vienna:

Storm Troops

It was published in German and English.
