Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber, SHuCo Hollow steel

[Saladin]

Hello All,
I wasn't sure of this one when I looked at it today.
Besides it flying at my magnet I was intrigued as the quality looked quite good.
So again following on from some research I believe this one to be a SHuCo design badge?

I must be having a really dull few weeks because I feel I should know the difference between a 4 and 5 stem but I haven't got the foggiest idea what is being written about.

Anyway..enough waffle: Here's the badge:


All the best

Hello Doug

As you state, this one is a nice S.H.u.Co. Design hollow with a steel alloy base and it's a (5) Vein example.

An interesting variant due to it's construction material but not too difficult to track down and minty examples can still be found.

There are both (4) & (5) Vein steel hollows and the difference is found in the 1R wreath leaf position.

Best Regards, fischer

Hello Doug,
A nice example you have added to your collection!
Not all of my items are "minty",
