Wow, that's new on me. I wonder how many of these have been dismissed as fakes over the years?

Yes, I have wondered that as well !! What a "mistaka ta maka" (as Capt Bertorelli would say) if you did !
The one shown is over 250 Euro at a Militaria dealers in Madrid.....research shows that is the average price for one in Spain.....twice as much as a WW2 one, and over four times the price of a 57er version....Crazy !
Prost ! Steve.

Hi Guys
Having researched the so-called Spanish Infanterie Sturmabzeichen with colleagues and having spoken to a couple of collectors who specialize in research of Spanish awards here is what we were able to find so far.
The Spanish collectors hold the opinion that the Spanish produced awards (not just this Infanterie Sturmabzeichen) were made as replacements for the DEV members after the war.
The collectors also stated these examples were made for several decades and well into the 80's. That said, I only know of five examples which includes the example shown here.
Is this Infanterie Sturmabzeichen made as a replacement for the Blue Division members or something made to fool? we can only speculate.
Solid proof that links these awards to Blue Division members has yet to surface.
In regards to the price, compare this one to the commonly found purported Juncker NS Infanterie Sturmabzeichen's that sell for 300 plus euros on the Dealers sites.
If the hardware were intact, my opinion is the price would not be out of line.
Best Regards, fischer
