Assault Badges from OVMS Show

[Tom Yanacek]

Hi guys,

Here are three Infantry Assault Badges and one General Assault Badge that I bought over the weekend at the OVMS Show. Hope you like them.

Best regards,
Tom

The first one is an injection-molded Assmann from the #3 mold:

I believe this one is considered an unmarked JB&C0. It is rather ugly, dark Kriegsmetall gray, but the badge has excellent detail:

Here is a Hobacher with a fairly decent finish:

And lastly a General Assault Badge by Karl Wurster:

As always Tom, you always find nice originals. You live in a good area with shows all the time. Congrats!

Hi Tom,

All very nice additions, I really like the detail on the Assmann IAB and the finish on the Wurster is really nice too.

Congrats Tom on a very nice haul...

Your Assmann 3 example is very nice and looks to still have most of it's finish.
Two types of badge pins were used on the Assmann injected mold ISA 1-4 series; the "T" shaped combo hinge/badge pin we see here and the formed shepherd's hook shaped badge pin.

They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and I actually like the motif of the JB&Co Design ISA's.
This variation is highly detailed as you state, with the intricate cross-hatching on the acorns and the stippling on the wreath leaves.
One of the better Gablonz conceptions IMO.

Your new sheet metal hinge Wilhelm Hobacher is in nice shape also.

A very successful show!

Best Regards, fischer

Thank you!

Hi Guys,

My thanks to all for the comments. My favorite of the bunch is the injection-molded Assmann. I also bought a nice #2 mold Assmann at the show, but I sold it shortly after buying it.

Best regards,
Tom
