infanteriesturmabzeichen hohlgeprägt by FLL, good or bad?

[fischer]

I agree with Hans, this is considered a late war zinc hollow attributed FLL example. They can be found with several different combinations of hinge and catch variations.

These are even found with with a catch soldered directly to the reverse that was meant for the solid zinc crimped in examples.

Hello Adrian,

Linden used 3 or 4 hinge variant on their IABs.

Thanks János.

Hi guys,

I can only agree that this is a later war badge by FLL. This type of hinge is very common on their PABs, Luftwaffe Para badges and even Army Paras.
