Hi,

it's an original IAB attributed to the maker R.K. with the pebbled surface. If R.K. is Rudolf Karneth or R. Kreisel is not 100% proven as far as I know.

@Frikorps Danmark: Why it should be a fake?

And again my internal voice is warning me...
As I said, I could be wrong.
Added some pictures with red marks.

Hi Peter,

thanks for your reply! I can't see anything wrong with the highlighted areas. I compared it to other examples and they are identical. For me still a fine original in nice condition.

Hi Sven.
Take a look at this thread, I was using that to compare, especially look at the reverse - Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber, Rudolph Karneth

Maybe I am just too suspicios today hehe.

Hi Peter,

you can't compare it with these examples, because they are both unpebbled variants. It's another die which was used to produce them.
