'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 most of its original chrome type silver finish. The badge is not visible maker marked, this is the so-called 'Rocky' design, most likely made by the company of 'Alois Rettenmeyer' from Schwäbisch Gmünd. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional. Nice original badge in very good condition!
