Give me a hand to understand its value and if it's worth it
Thank Fischer and stewy and...

It's ok, better pics straight on of the makers mark would help. L/51's can be tricky to find. Your example has seen some action. Value? Depends on how much someone is willing to pay. ISA's are now ridiculously over priced for relatively findable but not "always out there" ISA's. Here's my L/51. Stewy

nice badge.

Nice badges and quite rare too I believe.

L/51 is the LDO mark for the manufacturer E. Ferd. Wiedmann Frankfurt-M. S-10 Schifferstr. 52-54.

Hi Ade, I wouldn't say they're hard to find. Just tricky. And you're correct, they are Wiedmann. There are several Wiedmann variants about. Stewy

I was going by the amount we've seen here on the forum. We see several Weiedmann badges posted from time to time but not many marked L/51 from memory.

[Stewy S]

They are out there Ade, but sadly not many seem to be shown on this forum. There are definitely a lot rarer ISA's ouy there IMO. Stewy

Out of curiosity, what would be the 'Holy Grail' of Infanterie badges in terms of rarity?

Haha!

That must be the badge carved by a Mermaid from Unicorn horn.
