[gerrit]

I have a good feeling about this "hohlgeprägte infanteriesturmabzeichen"prop. by FLL
Please your opinions about this one

Hello, this doesn't look like any Linden badge that I know.
Is there any reason that I am missing in your assumption that it is a FLL badge?
Is it bronze?
All the best

because of its hardware and the fact that there is no gap between the 98k bayonet and the swastika

Late war hollow FLL, original for sure.

I know Linden used two types of hinge on their Luftwaffe badges, did they do the same with their Infanterie Sturmabzeichen?

[gerrit]

Gents thank you very much, the deal is made, will upload more detailed pictures when it drops on my doorstep, so we have more pictures to compare in the future

Cheers,

Hello Adrian,

Linden used 3 or 4 hinge variant on their IABs.

[Saladin]

Hello Ger, thanks for your input and Janos I agree that there seem to be many FLL attributed IABs with lots of different rear set ups.
So just before I file this badge in the correct place, if the swastika is attached to the rifle the assumption is it is an unmarked FLL badge? no matter what the rear set up has on it and no matter what style of eagle?
Just trying to get a grasp of this badge. The eagle has a peculiar eye relief compared to marked FLL badges so is this just a die variation used on later dies?
Many thanks
Doug
