Tom...I am of the opinion they are all fake ! pins to short, crappy castings (especially at the rears) look at the casting bubbles on the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen ! original ones are always die-stamped, even the late production pieces from ST u L are crisp, even though the finish is a bit glitzy, my advice do not buy.....From around the late 60's most makers had ceased producing 57er's, leaving only ST u L to carry one into the late 80's. If you take a look at the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen I posted in this section, study their die pattern, notice the inner wreath areas, chamfered...a trait not seen on the ones you show here. By the way, the numbers on Panzerkampf Abzeichen 25,50, 75 & 100 refer to the number of launched assaults the holder has made in a tank, not kills. Prost ! Steve.
