Panzer Assault Badge In Silver Un-marked B.H. Mayer
The Panzerkampfabzeichen was awarded to those who had either taken part in three armored assaults in three different days, had been wounded in the course of an assault or who had earned a bravery decoration in the course of an assault. The silver class was presented to tank commanders, gunners or radio operators who went into battle in armored vehicles.
It is constructed out of a die stamped fine zinc base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a panzer tank above a grass field which is beneath a national closed winged eagle clutching a mobile swastika in its talons. The hollow back reverse shows the correct, soldered on flat wire "c" catch soldered on sheet metal hinge and round wire pin. The badge shows all the "correct" die-flaws . Please see page 424 of Philippe de Bock's reference book "The German Panzer Assault Badge of World War II". The badge has lost most of the original silver wash and shows light signs of age and chafe-wear.
