'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber'

Panzer Assault Badge in Silver (Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber). The Panzer Assault Badge in silver was instituted by 'Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch' on '20 December 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 nice 'Feinzink' example which has great detail and still retains some of its original silver finish. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the company of 'Frank & Reif' from Stuttgart. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional. Nice original badge in good used condition.
