Silver IAB's on e-stand

[Brig]

I was wondering if anyone could give me a nod about the silver IAB's on the E-Stand... http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/foru...d.php?t=777780

I feel pretty good about them, the second looks like the catch is repaired (?). Are they both zinc? I've been wanting to upgrade my IAB to one with 95%+ finish intact, and these two look like possible candidates until I stumble on a nice cut-out one day. I'm not the most savvy with TR awards so always feel more comfortable with other opinions. Thanks!

All look fine to me. Yes, all three are zinc. Stewy

Hello

Both are good originals and both are zinc based.

The first one is referred to as the "Broken Stem" ISA and has recently been attributed to the maker Rettenmaier.

The second one is referred to as the "Egghead" variant.
The hardware is OK but the "WH" initials in the shape of the Wilhelm Hobacher maker mark were added post factory.

Best Regards, fischer

Thank you, gentlemen, for the replies

Does post-factory mean post-war, as well?

No, it means it was added at sometime after manufacture. Basically to supposedly enhance the value. Stewy
