Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in bronze

[WhiteFeather]

Hi everybody

I'd like to have some information about this Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in bronze.
It isn't marked and i don't see this badge in my book.
But i think it's an original and design resembles a design SHUCO 41 in my opinion, and the pin too but not the catch.
What do you think??







Best regards

To be certain i´d need to see better pics of it. I can´t remember ever seen a unmarked 5 stemmed SHuCo, even this particular hardware is new for me on this type. It all doesen´t add up for me. Is the hardware magnetic on it?

There are fakes of the SHuCo designs out there so be carefull.
I have a bad feeling about this one.

Could there possibly be a "hidden" makermark under the hinge? This has happened before.

I don´t quite agree with Sven here. It has to many questionmarks if it´s an original SHuCo designed IAB for me.

First of all i have never during my research on the SHuCo designed IAB´encountered a 5 stemmed type that is without a makermark, furthermore nore have i seen a 5 stemmed one with this type of hardware. The hardware on all the 5 stemmed in my research has so far have been magnetic! It also has a strange feature that is another first one for me and that is the sloppy excess material seen on the upper part of the rifle that they missed to remove. This IAB also features something that is very common to be found on the 4 stemmed unmarked SHuCo designed IAB´s, the casting line running all the way on the reverse of the rifle.

Hi Hans,

[WhiteFeather]

best regards

The only pics of SHuCo fakes that i have are makermarked one´s.

This particular IAB posted by White Feather has mix of features of basically all the known massive one´s, both marked and unmarked as well as the 4 stemmed and the 5 stemmed types.

If i only could inspect it personally.

Hi Hans
Have you some pics about the stemmed, whereas you speak about this stemmed, but i have not many pics about this stemmed, i have only pics makermarked SHUCO.
Best regards

Hi,

5 stemmed means that the top right leaf has 5 veins in it, a 4 stemmed has 4 veins in the leaf.

Here is the 4 stemmed leaf

[Hans N]

Here is a 5 stemmed one, identical to your

[WhiteFeather]

i agree for the 5 stemmed
