Two IAB's In Bronze & Silver For Review

[Moore-Grant]

I have had these 2 Infantry Assault Badges for many years. Always thought they were good but I need verification as I wish to sell them.... If good that is.

The Bronze on the left is none maker marked & what appears to be Bronze finished Zinc. I have no idea of the maker of this.

The Silver on the right is of Zinc with a Silver finish, much of which has worn on the front in certain areas showing the dull Zinc colour beneath. This one does have the remnants of the S.H.u.Co. stamp on the rear of swastika base. Part of the H.u.C can just be seen. Strange to put a stamp on if most of it becomes redundant? Was this normal?

Both are in issued/worn condition.

Just need a good or bad review either way. Can take more photos if needed?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks again.

Can anyone help with these 2 badges?

Imo both are Shuco, the marking is often found in irregular places, sometimes it is under the hinge and sometimes it is not complete. I wouldn't worry about that.
Difficult to tell the left one is a bronze grade, at first sight I would say both are silver grades....

I also think both are originals and I tend to think the left one might indeed be a bronze grade. There seems to be some bronze finish left around the soldering for the catch.

2 originals...according to estand threads I have seen lately these are considered MINT.

That's great news. I didn't realize until now that everything I have is mint!

Thanks guys, I will post up images in daylight.

The left is definitely Bronze & the right is Silver, guaranteed.

The left is Bronze washed with nearly 99% Bronze finish.

The right is Silver with around 70% of Silver finish on the surface.

Both are in used/worn condition.

Will get those shots done.

Cheers
