Miniatur Bronce Infantrie Sturm Abzeichen

[Saladin]

Hello All
Coming from the same source as the recently acquired ShuCo badge was this miniature.

I'm quite pleased to be able to pair them up again.



It came on an S&L LDO card with 4 other badges so it would be impossible to say which pin originated on the card if indeed any of them as none are marked on the reverse.



Any comments or opinions welcomed



All the best
Doug

I like the LDO Card, which is scarce itself...Nice way to keep your Stick-Pins together as well...
cheers, Glenn

Thanks Glenn,
this was how the vet kept them.
The missing wehrmacht helpers pin is on the non combat forum

Sadly I missed both the panzer and General assault badges the seller had

Cheers

Hi Doug, is it a 16mm or 9mm? I'm thinking 16mm, but it's difficult to tell. Stewy

Hi Stewy
Both the infantry assault and panzer assault are 16mm and the gold and black wound badges are the 8mm size

Cheers

So the reverse pic, what pins are back to back? One being upside down, I take it that's the PKA. Just trying to get my head round what's what on the reverse pic. All are original with twisted pins. Which is usual on 16mm pins, but not always on 9mm's. I don't include WB's in that, they're a separate entity regarding size. Nice find, congrats. Stewy

Here you go Stewy,
the Panzer and the IAB mini's are on a lot shorter pin than the two wound badges.

Crap weather again so artificial light!!




Cheers

Both 16mm & very nice too. It's strange that mini WB's have long pins. I'd not given it a thought until you mentioned it. Stewy

Congrats on securing these; you have added some nice examples along with a lovely L/16 marked card.

In regards to the ISA mini, it's been my experience that this design always has a shorter pin.

Here is one I have with the same design to compare.

Best Regards, fischer

Here's my best ISA pin. Stewy
