Note the similarity of the hardware on both the PAB and IAB.

Re: New Finds
The Edelweiss looks like a good Hochland cap badge but I have only seen the variant with a goldish centre before

Re: New Finds
I'm pretty sure that the Edelweiss is from SA Gruppe Hochland...Great items, really appreciate you sharing those with us. I'm always amazed at the knowledge that's found here!

The Panzerkampf Abzeichen is considered an Adolf Scholze semi-hollow variant. The AS in Triangle Infanterie Sturmabzeichen is still an unknown maker.
The AS Panzerkampf Abzeichen was manufactured in the Gablonz area and IMO the AS in triangle was also. The Infanterie Sturmabzeichen suffers from finish loss on the obverse with the reverse frosted type finish still intact.
This is a trait common to this maker and seen often. It is also an area of puzzlement for me as to why the reverse always adheres nicely and the obverse flakes away.
