Unmarked Frank&Reif, with what indeed looks like a repair.

I'm used to see this type with a C wire catch on catchplate. Could you post a better close up of that catch?

Hi,

i can only agree with what Giel already told you - a unmarked Frank & Reif IAB. Like Giel I am also used to find a C wire catch on these, that one is nothing that i do recognise from any IAB or other War badge for that matter. Please do post some closeups of the catch.

Thanks alot guys.
Iam not at home right now but I will post a pic of the catch very soon. Maybe its a repair as well.

Thanks Jens

Hi Jens

I think you are right with the needle repaired/soldered and the catch is definitely replaced with a "new" part

cheers
