Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze - Wurster
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 early hollow tombak (Buntmetall) 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 'Karl Wurster' from Markneukirchen. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional, however the catch has been repaired, see photos. Despite the repaired catch stilla nice and desirable original badge in good condition!
