Congrats, Jippie - It's called the Pillow Crimp or Pillow Crimped IAB for obvious reasons - maker... I don't know if known?

Hi Jipee......
......As Rainer stated we still don't have a manufacturer nailed down for the 'pillow crimp' IAB. Perhaps some day though. It's a nice one, of that you can be sure.

Hi Jipee,
I like where you are headed, my thoughts were the same when I saw this Wound Badge. However, BH Mayer IABs are already known and marked as such, and the pillow crimp IABs are much different. Definately 2 separate makers.
Good new is that the mark on the Wound Badge is not L/18, but rather L/13
. That is Paul Meybauers number and as far as I know, no PM IAB has ever been identified, so as far as I am concerned, these pillow crimp IABs stand a VERY EXCELLENT chance of being made by Meybauer.
TomIf it doesn't have a hinge and catch, I'm not interested......well, maybe a littleNew Book - The German Close Combat Clasp of World War II
