Heer / Waffen-SS Panzer Assault Badge in Silver

The Panzer Assault Badge in silver was instituted by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch on December 20th 1939 for award to all ranks of tank personnel who served as a tank commander, driver, gunner or radio operator and had been involved in three different armored assaults on three different days.

This is a panzer assault badge in silver, zinc, hollow back construction. Complete with original hinge, pin and catch assembly. A portion of the original silver paint is still intact. The badge was once professionally repaired which is visable to the reverse.

Perfect cheaper example to display on a tunic!!
