Tombak Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen by Wilhelm Deumer, silver grade.

These early Deumer's remind me of my "Deep Pan" GAB. I really dig it and the photos don't do it justice. It just looks really neat in hand.

Stunningly beautiful award Todd. A new pickup?

Looks like the collection is growing. I think you need a numbered badge next

Thank-you! I like it a lot.
Yes sir. A recent arrival.

I think you forgot that I have this JFS:



Now sell me your numbered GAB.

Ahhh yes. An unmarked JFS if I remember correctly.

Didn't see it in you photo

The GAB like my M40 police isn't going anywhere I'm afraid no matter how much you pressure me

Yep! Unmarked JFS.

That's not ALL of my badges in the photo. Some are scattered here and there in my display and the Luftwaffe badges and flight clasps have their own cases.

Can't blame you on the GAB. I made a run at one last year and got outbid (way outbid).

I like the detail in this award. Very nice catch.

Hello,

A very nice example Todd...congrats on adding this one to your very nice and ever growing collection.

Your new Deumer ISA is one of two obverse designs and is what I refer to as the Die 2 Type.
The reason being, we can see this same obverse design continued on in use with the Zinc hollow variants as well.

The main difference (see red circle) is the Die 2 has a center leaf vein in the 4R wreath leaf...the Die 1 variant does not.
Also, the Die 1 is not found in use on a Zinc hollow Deumer.

Here are my examples showing the difference between the two BM Deumer ISA's.

Best Regards, fischer

Thank-you fischer. And thanks for the additional explication.
