[valsente]

I've in my hand this IAB marked Adolf Scholze. Weight is 35,50 gr and measurements 64,27 x 48,63. What do you think about? Thanks a lot.

I personally don't like it. See this thread: http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...ht=AD+Schwerdt

The catch is not what I would expect to see.

Nobody else with an opinion on this one? I am not an expert by any means.

Don & Val,

Just having a quick look through previous threads and photos, Like you say Don the catch is not would you would expect. I can see only one other with the round wire catch and that has just been recently posted by Skip over at GCA.
Saying that the obverse details looks pretty good to me and the ball hinge seems good too.
I would say that it is a good original with a variant round wire catch.


Regards,

Mark
