maybe real or fake? Which one to buy?

[JJFreire]

Does anyone help me identify each of these medals? Which one should I buy?

[jamie7d7]

Is the 2nd one maybe a SHuCo of some sort maybe zinc construction? I'd wait for (far) more knowledgeable chaps to come along soon!!

[Stewy S]

The first one's an unmarked Wiedmann. Stewy

The 2nd in the site says: "Infantry Sturmabzeichen Third Reich 1933-1945 Infantry Sturmabzeichen in silver, OEK 3890, army, massive version "

The first example is a Wiedmann Design and the second looks to be the so-called Egghead example.

Best Regards, fischer

Jamie you're not wrong about the SHuCo design. But some things look a little strange. Without better pics, especially the eagles head I'm reluctant to make a decisive call. Stewy

[JJFreire]

Personally if they had to buy one which would they choose? I'm inclined to the first...

[Stewy S]

Fischer, good shout but do you not think there's a bit too much residue around the edges of the award both inside & out? Stewy

[Stewy S]

I'd go with the Wiedmann, it's not had such a hard life. Stewy

[jamie7d7]

Has the second one had its hooked replaced? It just looks a bit different/newer than the rest of the badge?
