Original Silver IAB

[German_military]

Hello,
I want to buy this IAB along with a iron cross and a would badge.
Judging by the finish , model and overall condition I think it's original.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Frank

Does anyone reconise it's maker?

Hello Frank,

it´s a Assmann IAB. These can sometimes be found with a double "A" mark.
There usually is a fainth A on the center of the rifles revese on them even if thought as a unmarked one.

I agree with these gentlemen here. A harder to find IAB imo.

Hello,
Thanks all for your help. I know the photo's could be larger, but the first ones I got from the seller were even less detailed. I'll make better photo's myself, when he has arrived.

I'm curious if I might find the A mark.

Thanks !

You might have to tilt it and catch the light to see it. Most common of the marked examples are the single "A" behind the rifle. There have been examples with a single "A" behind the wreath on the left hand side, looing at the reverse, and as Hans mentioned you can get double marked examples.

Hello,
I received the medal today.

My compliments for predicting that it would have an A mark. It's not very well visible, but there is indeed an A behind the rifle.

Here are some detailed photo's. In the last photo you see the medals that came from the same owner.
I keep them all.

Thanks!
