Early hollowback silver Infantry Assault Badge by Otto Schickle.

An early silver plated tombak hollowback IAB by Schickle.
Absolutely beautiful dark silver patina to the eagle with white frosted finish to the background of the badge.
Stunning firece looking bird.
Superb crisp detail with only minor finish wear to some highlights.
Early Schickle IABs are of the finest quality and extremely desirable.
Would clean to a frosted and burnished finish but in my opinion the 80 year old plus patina is simply gorgeous!
Scarce badge!
