FCL Infanterie sturmabzeichen

[StuG III]

Hi aii. I have the opportunity to purchase this IAB. It looks like a genuine piece, but what concerns me is the excessive pitting on obverse. Casting or honest wear & tear? Please have a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks Tom

Original, but poorly stored. I doubt it's a G/dug. Stewy

The early Dr. Franke & Co. logo is also present on your RAD cap badge !! Nice find, I hope you get it Tom

Hi Tom

I agree with Stewy, an original Franke & Co. ISA.
It does have some wear on the obverse, but nothing excessive.
Better scans would show the details better.

Here is one I have in about the same condition.
Notice the frosted type finish has worn away leaving only the dark gray undercoat.

Best Regards, fischer
