    Default Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber - Carl Wild Zinc

    Just received this lovely IAB from Carl Wild (CW).

    Not rare but a harder to find maker.

    It is a massive design but very high quality even though most it is likely a Mid-Late war design given it's zinc construction.

    Carl Wild of Hamburg is classified as an Independent manufacture and it is my understanding that this award is a Type 7.03 (Weber).

    From what I can tell it has the first type hinge fitting (the raised base).

    According to an old post from our friend Fisher it is a Design Type - Die 1 as the 1R leaf of the Die 1 has a more pronounced top, left vein branching off the center vein and it has an additional vein in the 1L leaf. The maker mark is wider across and has smaller gap between the ā€œCā€ and ā€œWā€.

    Would love to hear your thoughts

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    What do you mean "It's a massive design" ? It's larger than the average IAB ? Height, width ?

    No. It is Massive vs hollow. (or semi-hollow)

    So Massive just means it is solid. Kind of redundant as you can clearly see it's not a hollow back award. LoL

    Thanks Franko. Took 28 days to arrive! LoL.

    While there is no silver wash left, the high quality of the zinc/manufacturing is quite different than typical zinc'er. So it still is a nice award to look at. Wash or no wash.
