The Infantry Assault Badge at Thirdreichmedals.com

http://www.thirdreichmedals.com/Infantry Assault Badge by WH. Original Versus Copy. Another highly copied badge is the common Infantry Assault Badge by the maker "WH" So far there is a debate over who the makers "WH" actually is. For years it was believed that the mark belonged to the firm of Wallter & Henlein of Gablonz. However, recently an Original badge with this mark in a paper award packet turned up with the makers name and address of "W. Hoebacher Wein on the paper packet. The copy Infantry Assault Badge comes in both bronze and silver grades and is manufactured in a strange mixed metal alloy reminiscent of zinc and has a good quality hinge and hook soldered to the reverse. The overall quality is very impressive and few people realize that this badge is in fact a copy.
