Picked up several pair of german occupation 406th IR DUIs. There appear to be two different designs. Can anyone tell me why?

Garth,

 

The original design was a dk blue shield shaped enamel Di (robbins) Auth 1928

ASMIC # 406A

 

406B pictured in your photo to the right is the Occupation piece square shield with added motto (painted) Lauer marked

 

406B1 same as above but not marked is a collector copy !!!

 

406C is the piece on the left same as 406B, but with the addttion of the bayonet and 4 bendlets Lauer marked, not marked possible collector copy

 

(Pictured below )Post war pieces are enameled (NSM) square shield, scroll shorter W/ bayonet and bendlets 406D & F

 

hope that helps
