Infanterie sturmabzeichen maker?

[juncker93]

Hello everyone,

I got this IAB in with a small lot. I have been trying to find out which maker produced it but haven't been succesful yet.
It has small bits of silver finish left. Hopefully one of you can tell me which maker it is




Kind regards,

Juncker93

Hello Juncker93

This one is referred to as the semi-hollow "H" example and the maker is unknown.
Only speculation exists on who actually manufactured this one.

The "H" nickname comes from a hollow example (see below) that has the same obverse design as this one.
It has a single raised "H" on the lower wreath near the catch.

@fisher,

Thank you for your explanation . I probably would have never found the maker on this one with just comparing obverse designs :/.
Could my IAB be more late war due to the fact that it has a more crude back finish than your example?

Kind regards

Hi Juncker93

Difficult to say which variation came first as there are multiple possibilities and with what we currently know, all our conclusions would be guess work

Here is a semi-hollow example I have to compare.

And the solid zinc version with the same obverse design.

@ fisher

Thank you again for your reply. I guess it will be a question mark until further information pops up.
I am glad to know which maker it is and it's going to stay in my collection with the documents that came with it.
