I believe this to be a good Shu Co 41 based on my review of threads. This solid zinc is more bronze on rear and front only a hint of bronze when light hits it right.
Can I get a confirmation on its being legitimate and is it bronze. Thanks.

Sorry about orientation I've uploaded from phone.
Another rear pic
At first it looked good one to me. Even has the left opening catch.
But as I looked again, I noticed something. I will throw this out there for others as I don't actively study these anymore.
The Makers Mark is much higher than on other examples I've seen.
Also, and probably due to the excessive solder, but I can't tell if it is the correct hinge plate
Edit: OK, actually looked this time at other examples. Looks like a good 5 vein example. I used to know this....LoL. Have now read (see first link below) that the maker mark did "float" around.
My last comment... the catch and hinge seems similar to the ones used on the earlier ShuCo version (buntmetal). Maybe just leftover stock before they transitioned over to the Steel style? Will let others comment on this.
Here is Ralphs 5 vein example
Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber, ShuCo 41, Sohni, Heubach & Co
And here is the earlier version with the buntmetal hardware
Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber, ShuCo, 41
All quickly found using the great forum search function in the upper right corner

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
