RobRoy Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Hi everyone, I have acquired an Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen (ISA) medal. I have been told it should be real. The medal itself is not magnetic, and so far, I have read that it should be made of silver, meaning it makes sense that it is not magnetic. However, the 'needle' on the back is magnetic. Furthermore, there is no marking on the medal. What do you guys think, is it real? Thanks in advance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulchen Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Mid war, made of Zink, pin is most likely steel, test if magnetic, if not, probably nickel, never silver. It is real. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gildwiller1918 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The silver version is much more common than the bronzed type. But still a nice find. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
