Infantrie Sturmabzeichen in Bronze, JFS, Josef Feix & Sohne.

[rbminis]

A recent addition to my IAB collection.
This solid zinc example is made by Josef Feix & Sohne, JFS and maker marked as such. It has a crimped in, ball hinge with a formed sheet metal catch that is also crimped in place.
This example retains most of it's silver finish but has tarnished with time.

Thank you Brian!
I hope that all of my work here will help newer, and older, collectors to avoid buying any fakes.
I don't collect all types of awards so I can only propagate the fields that I collect.

You do it quite well sir. And the time it must take should not go unnoticed. Your pictures are always spot on. Again another series of reference threads well worth the $25 admission fee. Best regards.

Hi Ralph

Another lovely example you have added...

In regards to grade, I am of the opinion this one is a bronze ISA. Please see the area's on the obverse I have indicated.
Also, the reverse has areas the display bronze finish, including the ball hinge and catch.

Best Regards, fischer

Thank you for pointing that out fischer!
I see what you are talking about and it is duly noted and the title has been changed.
Thanks,
Ralph.

Just adding to the discussion...here are two silver grade JFS examples I have.

The first one has the chrome like "Glanzverzinkt" finish and the second the delicate, frosted white coating.
