The Infantry Assault Badge by Fritz Zimmermann (Stuttgart) |
|
Notes to remember: Materials used: Zinc. Fritz Zimmermann made IABs in solid versions with a hollow rifle. It is easy to recognize them, because most IABs made by this company feature a characteristic crimped hardware setup. However, examples without a crimped hinge and catch are known to collector’s community as well. Please note that traces of the special "hinge cage", for the variant without the crimps, could be spotted on this badge too . Rarity scale: 7/10 Fritz Zimmermann in silver: obverse
