General Assault Badge

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 zinc type badge is complete with its original catch, the hinge with pin came loose but are present as well and can easily be repaired. I left it as found, see photos. The badge is not visible maker marked. Still a nice original badge for a fair price!
