'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' - FLL

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 which shows outstanding detail and still retains most of its original bronze finish. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the company of 'Friedrich Linden', based in Lüdenscheid. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional. This is a less often seen early solid zinc construction curved variant. Nice and desirable original badge in very good condition.
