Infantry assault Badge R.K.?

Hello to all,

Was this type of Infantry Assault Badge made by Rudolf Karneth?
Thank you for any and all assistance.

Best regards,

IAB reverse:
Hardware seems identical to that found on R.K. General Assault with crimped standard hinge variation.

Thanks guys!

This is the first Infantry Assault Badge that I have ever had by this maker. I know that the R.K. General Assault Badges are very common. But I was wondering if this is a scarce maker for an Infantry Assault Badge?

Hi Tom,

Very nice IAB and I agree that it was most likely made by Karneth. I really like the obverse detailing on these, I picked one up myself about a year ago. Have you noticed the little notches on the balls at the bowtie of the wreath? I really like their level of detail that Karneth put into these IABs.

Hi Tom,

Yes, I couldn't agree with you more. the detail on these is extraordinary. Much nicer than their GABs or PABs for that matter. Looks like yours is a bronze example too? Thanks for posting.
