    ID of Medal Makers, BWB, IAB, GAB

    I just picked up these three medals from the nephew of a U.S. 100th Division veteran. I am hoping that you experts can identify the makers of these badges. The Black Wound Badge is marked 16. The Infantry Assault Badge, which is concave, and the General Assault Badge are unmarked. Note that the pin of the General Assault Badge became detached (I hope to have it repaired).

    P.S. I'm sorry about the sideways photos, but that's how they appeared after I loaded them from my iPhone to my laptop.

                Hi Barry,

                All 3 very nice originals.

                The IAB and GAB are both made by Rettenmaier, and both look unworn so quite possibly liberated from a supply depot IMO. Nice score.

                  IMO the WB also reads 16 for Rettenmaier, like Tom stated, possibly from a supply depot

                    Thanks for correcting me, Alex & Tom. My mistake. Stewy

                      Good eye Alexander, makes perfectly sense. I saw the 16 and immediately thought of S&L, funny how the brain works

                        Thanks stewy, kray and Tom. Here's a photo of the entire haul. Dave Wyatt also suggested that most, if not all, of the medals came from a supply depot.

                          Hi Barry

                          ......Nice badges. That's a great group of collectibles. IMO however, I am more inclined to believe they were 'liberated' from a retail outlet as opposed to a 'supply depot'.
