Hollow backed Infanterie Sturmabzeichen ?
I was looking through my badges , and found this hollow backed IAB. I noticed the eagle was more pronounced, and the bottom portion of the sling connecting to the rifle stock is different. I find it a rather tough badge extremely hard to bend for such a light piece. Any information would be appreciated
Sorry Humbers, it's a fake based on the Hymmen design badge. The weird head is a massive red flag and I don't think they had cut out swastika's either.

Ned's spot on. Sorry, Stewy
Thanks guys. Something about it troubled me. The head, wingspan, material, etc.... I just didn't like it. I set it aside for a reason. A good one!
Your concerns were justified, it's notable for being well undersized compared to genuine badges, another "tell" that gives it away.by humble collector

Fine with me, if we can help we will. Stewy
Not me. I pay a man to sweep up the leaves in the gardens here in da Wood.
