Maker Identity of 2 IAB Infanterie Sturmabzeichen

[Sperwer89]

Hello,

I bought these two IAB's and I'm looking for the maker of these badges.
Clearly the two eagles (see pecker) are different and the bajonet on top of the rifle also differs.

Could anyone please help me out?


Kind Regards,

Number 2 is lightly bent/bowed "gewölbt" and sollid "vast"
Number 1 is the usual sollid "vast".

#1 is a variation of the "Heubach" design and #2 is a "broken stem" IAB --both are zinc silver IABs.

Agree with Ken. Nice badges

Hello,

Many thanks Panzercracker and blutundehre I've looked them up on the internet for comparison and info and they perfectly match your conclusion.

Thank you, number 2 still has that nice silver finish...
I very much like the IAB and GAB, they have nice patterns and are larger than most others (KM badges etc.)

Kind Regards,
