Opinions on Infanterie Sturmabzeichen

[Laconic]

Hi guys,

There's a local dealer here that's recently listed this item. I know from observation that he usually lists items quite expensive, so I was quite surprised to notice when he listed this one at a reasonable price (unsure whether price is allowed to be said or whether it goes agains forum rules).

Anyway, reportedly, it's a S.H.u.co. Infantry Assault Badge in silver, unmarked. I'm unsure whether there's something that I may have missed out, or whether I'm being overly paranoid here. I've listed photos below in hopes for more opinions on this item.

Thanks again!

I believe this one is actually a Shu.Co design, but made by Gottlieb & Wagner, with a crimped in hinge and a, (possibly factory), replaced catch.
You can compare with my example here.

I agree with Ralph's assessment and the catch looks to be repaired. Do you have a close-up of the catch area like the hinge pic?

Thanks for the advice. I have attached a photo of the catch .[ATTACH=CONFIG]1674606[/ATTACH]

Thanks for the additional pic. Definitely repaired at some point.

Here is a couple I have to compare.
