    Hello

    These examples are rather small in size as you state. Not necessarily in overall diameter but the wreath, k98k, etc. have a thin look when compare to other Infanterie Sturmabzeichen's.

    For years this one was nicknamed the "missing leaf" due to the smallish, almost non existent leaf placed inside the sling area next to the k98k stock area. They are now thought to be made by Paul Meybauer and are the descendants of the very early so-called tombak Cut Out's, also attributed to Meybauer.

    The cut outs usually do not have the "leaf" inside the sling area and if you examine this solid zinc example, the leaf appears to be a last minute addition as it lacks the outline details of the other leaves. Another attribute is the hardware set up found on these. The small block hinge and "?" style catch, directly soldered to the reverse is more at home on a BM hollow than this solid zinc. Most zinc solids use a sheet metal type hinge and catch plate with a large base for ease of attachment to the zinc.

    Best Regards, fischer

    Fischer, thanks for the info, i have another late war hollow back example, and the zinc Meybauer is definitely slightly smaller and not vaulted. I just love the salty look of this badge! I also took care of the Zinc pest. I will post new pics tom. Thanks again for helping me identify this maker!
