Re: Infanterie Sturmabzeichen
A nice example Nick, congrats!
According to the Weber reference, your IAB could also be a Juncker made piece.
Re: Infanterie Sturmabzeichen
I thought that as well Glenn but when I checked, these are attributed to S&L.

Re: Infanterie Sturmabzeichen
The money is on S&L these days but is still not 100% fact I understand. The S&L/Junker IAB's are very similar, but I believe that a difference was noted in very small die flaws on SOME S&L types around the shoulders of the wings and the rifle sling that was accepted to show the differences between the two makers. There were many rear hardware set ups for both these makers that adds interest for the IAB collector.
I'm happy with the S&L I.D.

Congratulations on your first Nick!
Did anyone ever tell you that these are kind of like EK's, hard to stop at just one.
