Infantrie Sturmabzeichen/Infantry Assault badge & Waffenrock Cord

[Stewy S]

Mine is quite rare as it has a square catch, not rounded. Stewy

I was worried when I saw your catch Stewy but I guess they had variations? And its all good Joe I took the buckle back. Im finally glad to get some TR collecting going on

[Stewy S]

I'd still like to see clear obverse & reverse pics of your FLL if possible Ben. Cheers mate. Stewy

The marksmanship lanyard look good albeit a little worn. I don't know much about these but this is possibly the lowest grade.

Sure thing Stewy as soon as I can find a decent camera mine has lens issues so it cant focus on small objects right now...
Adrian, do you know what it was issued for? Shooting at ranges etc? how do you tell the different grades. Also Do you know what the silver cord is composed of is it just silver painted black bullion? I liked the sheild is the reason I got it and the price for both seemed pretty low
Thanks for the help Gents

Also it looks like 3 acorns were cut off Ill take a close up and post it soon what would each one represent?
-Never mind I found this site thanks to Andreas old post

Stewy the pictures will be hard to get because the catch is a little bent so I can not move the pin to get a good picture since its stuck in place Id try bending it a little but i dont want to break it

[AmericanKraut]

So I took a chance and used small pliers that I taped the jaws with so it would not scratch the catch and I gave it a bump... and it worked perfect

Here are some better pics Stewy and some of the base of the marksman lanyard showing the 3 missing acorns... -

Any comments on the new pictures?

A good late-ish zinc FLL ISA IMO. Stewy
