Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze 'Frank & Reif'

Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze (Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze). The Panzer Assault Badge in bronze was instituted by 'Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch' on '1 june 1940' for award to Panzer-Grenadier, medical, and armored car personnel who participated in three different armored assaults on three different days. This is a nice 'Feinzink' example, the badge shows some zinc bubbling but still retains a fair amount of its original bronze finish. The badge is nicely maker marked by the company of 'Frank & Reif' from Stuttgart. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional. Nice original badge in used condition!
