Heer Silver IAB

[Eric K.]

Heres a nice IAB that I got in a group from a gebirgs soldier, Its in great shape with almost all of the silver intact, I was wondering who's the maker since theres no markings, also in the group are alot of HJ pins and two party badges. usually you dont find so much from one person but I guess today was my lucky day!!!

Thanks for the help!!

and the front.

And now for the bad news the person I got these from the Grandson of the vet( who died 3-4 months ago) He told me that just last year they both destroyed 3 helmets with a pick axe and 2 of them had "some mountain troop insignia" attached to them boy I would have loved to get those.

Good catch Eric. Manufacturer is unknown. But this type of badges is so called Steinhauer&Luck project.

a really nice looking badge, both from the condition and the way this maker does them.

And I think the badge was made in early period of war.
