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.
