My sole GAB, but I quite like it. A genuine, period piece in my opinion...but I seek confirming or other opinions here, please...and thanks, in advance.

This GAB by Ferdinand Wiedmann is a late war, die-cast piece of quality zinc which is silver-grey in appearance, showing a couple spots of deterioration. The area between the bayonet and the swastika is not punched-out. The bronze hinge and "C" clasp have been soldered to the base metal (the round baseplate of the clasp is partially obscured by the solder). The bronze pin tip is angled from two sides. The maker mark is stamped.
