|
Notes to remember: Materials used: Zinc.The Wilhelm Hobacher Company was another company from Vienna using the previously mentioned common obverse design used by Vienna based makers. WH made GABs can be found in semi-hollow and solid form with few different hardware variations. It is interesting to note that Hobacher frequently placed the pin catch on the bayonet and grenade cross point of their solid badges, rather than the more commonly used wreath position. This is also a feature sometimes seen on Rudolf Souval badges. Rarity scale: 6/10 Wilhelm Hobacher semi hollow version: obverse
