Solid Buntmetall/Tombac Silver grade Infantry Assault Badge. Manufactured by K. Wurster from Markneukirche and properly marked with the company's early small "w" maker mark. For a still unknown reason, Wurster was the only company that manufactured solid Tombac combat awards throughout the war. A very rare and very desirable IAB variant and a highlight in any collection. The award remains in very good condition with all finish nicely preserved and an untouched patina build-up.
