Need your opinion on this Infanteriesturmabzeichen. Real deal?

[Srdj]

This one I purchased many moons ago but now I'm not sure it is an original. Thoughts?

I believe this one is original, but wait for fischer or stewy.
It looks like the catch may have been replaced.

I also believe this to be an original badge. This one is the 5 over 5 variant because the first and second leaves above the rifle butt have five veins each coming off of the main stem through the centre of the leaf. I also believe the catch to be original but the rarer version as the most common has an oblong catch plate.
As Ralph says, wait for Fischer, Stewy or Janos to confirm this.

Thanks for your opinion, guys. No one else chimed in back then so I'll go with your info!

[rbminis]

Since you already own this one, there is no hurry. Now that you have brought it back to the top, maybe fischer or stewy, possibly Joachim,(Kradmelder) will post their opinion.

Hello

A very nice E. Muller example with the round catch plate. These have the best maker mark in the business...

Here is a good thread on Muller IAB's.
