Rudolf Souval produced an uncommon variant of the Infantry Assault Badge (IAB). Made in zinc, this example, known as their “wide pin” variant, is textbook in every way, with no damage or repairs. The reverse shows the matching hardware original to the piece with the firm’s (R.S.) trademark maker’s mark. Nearly 60% of the bronze finish remains. When this example usually does pop up, it is the silver grade; bronze is almost unheard of. Great combat-worn piece with nice matching wear/patina.
