The Infantry Assault Badge by OM (Unknown Maker)
Notes to remember:
Materials used: Zinc. OM IABs are divided in to two main design patterns, both solid, but with slightly different obverse designs. Please note that the connection to OM as the maker was made based on only two known (to us) OM maker marked examples. Both are in the same private collection. There is absolutely no guarantee that this connection is valid, however the collectors world widely accepts this link.
At this point we still don't know who is behind OM maker mark.
Rarity scale: marked 9.5/10; unmarked 6/10
OM 2nd pattern unmarked version: obverse
OM 2nd pattern unmarked version: reverse
OM 2nd pattern unmarked version: hinge
OM 2nd pattern unmarked version: catch
