IAB flea market find

[Nick_since_1985]

I found this IAB at a local flea market together with award document. It looks good to me, any thoughts on this one?

More front pictures are helpfull, but IMO it is an original unmarked JB&Co. I would give it a vaseline treatment however, to prevent further corrosion.

It looks good but I have doubts that it's a JB&Co, never seen one without the mm. setup looks simular though, better pics would help.

Most JB&Co IAB's are unmarked. Here's one for comparison:

Thx for the reply's all.

That are some neat examples you all have

I paid 60 Euro for it, together with his award document, though that one is in bad shape...

Do you have pics of the document as well? Now I'm curious

Ten years ago I paid $18.00 for mine.... no document.... you got a great deal. What date and unit is on the document?

[Nick_since_1985]

Like I said, the document is in bad shape, it goes to:

Unteroffizier

Alfred Kraplau

6./Gren. RGT. 413

Im Felde, den 8. Juli 1943
