It's a late war zink Steinhauer & Lück in original box. Whether the box actually belonged to the badge is hard to tell.

Hi Lewis,

A fine original later-war S&L for me as well.

As a beginner I didn't want to offer an opinion...but based on Weber's book I assessed it as an S&L as well. I was wondering if the pin and catch had been replaced. This is how I'm trying to learn - look at posts like this then hitting the reference material.

Pin and catch are not replaced. You can find this type of IAB with different setups. The marks are for the "standart setup".
