IAB & Luft stickpin

[all1knew]

Hello all,

Don't really know where to post the Luftwaffe eagle stickpin but thought it could go with the IAB example I have. How do we feel about the authenticity of these? I have not handled a lot of award stickpins and could use some extra opinions, thank you!

They only look crude because of the magnification - and they ARE so small. I think all good and the barley twist pin is a good sign of originality IMO.
Aside from the repair, with a later pin ( this could have been postwar, who knows? )
Cheers, Dan

Stick pins aren't my thing but the Infanterie Sturmabzeichen pin has been repaired at best. I would always look for the knurled pin if I was to buy such a piece and this one doesn't have it. Maybe an original miniature but replaced pin.
