Mayer Infantry Assault Badge

[Tom Yanacek]

Hello to all,

I found this badge today at a gun show. It looks B.H. Mayerish although some of the details do not match up to what is considered a "textbook" B.H. Mayer IAB. Still thought it original, though, and worth taking a chance on.

Best regards,
Tom

Here is the reverse:

(The badge, catch, and pin are non-magnetic. The hinge is magnetic.)

The hinge has a flange at its base:

Its okey, ive got the same one. I always found that they have a fair bit of Frank&Reif in them but aparently they are indeed BH Mayers

Nice pick-up Tom, I also think she is original and no problems with her.

What are the differences you notice between the regular BH Mayer and yours (other than the hardware?). Are there differences in the obverse design somewhere?

Thanks for the responses, Alex and Tom!

Tom,

The most noticeable differences in the obverse design are shown in the pictures below.

Best regards,
