The Infantry Assault Badge by Josef Feix & Söhne (Gablonz)

Notes to remember:

Materials used: Zinc. The Josef Feix & Söhne Company, like many other Gablonz based companies, is still a member of the Regional Gablonz Manufacturers Association. Similarities in the hardware used by them suggest that these companies were using the same supply source in order to cut their manufacturing costs. Typically the ball hinge could be found on both IAB versions made by the JFS Company: both hollow and solid. It is worth noting that the hollow version is very hard to find. Solid silver versions exist with 3 different finish types: plated silver, frosted white with a polished swastika and a chrome finish version.

Rarity scale: hollow marked 9/10, hollow unmarked 8/10; solid 5/10
