Infantry Assault Badge

The Infantry Assault Badge in silver was introduced on December 20th 1939 by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch for award to Officers and EM/NCOs of non-motorized Infantry and Mountain Infantry units. Criteria for bestowal of the badge varied, with the main qualification being participation in three separate Infantry assaults. On June 1’st 1940 a bronze version of the Infantry Assault Badge was introduced for award to Officers and EM/NCOs of Motorized Infantry units.

This is a late war, die struck  Zinc badge. The badge is complete with hinge, catch and pin. The badge is in good condition with a heavy age patina all over. The silver paint is visable to exposed parts and if cleaned this would most likely appear in almost mint condition.

Late war example in good condition!!
