Miniature General Assault Badge

Miniature General Assault Badge (Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen). The General Assault badge was introduced on 1 June 1940 by 'Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch' for award to support personnel who were ineligible for the Infantry or Panzer Assault badges. Criteria for award of the badge was basically the same as the criteria for award of the Infantry and Panzer Assault badges with the main qualification being participation in three separate assaults in a supporting role. The miniature badge is a non-maker marked example executed in zinc. This is the 16mm version and the miniature is showing great details. Nice original miniature in good condition!
