Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Bronze

[CaseyAndreas]

Hello and thank you for a fantastic forum.

I got this bronze version 20 years ago and I am currently changing my collection. But before I do so I want some opinions on it and also the current market value since I havent collected third reich items in a while. I bought it as a original but I have been told a couple of years ago that it might be a early post-war version.

Regards

Hello,

This one is a high quality Post War example attributed to the firm of Steinhauer & Luck. The base material is tombak and it's patterned after the very rare - early war S&L version.

The tell/tale signs are the die flaws (red circles) on the obverse and the post war hardware set up.
In regards to price, depends if someone is looking for a Post War example. I've seen them for $150-$175.

Here is my example to compare.
