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 rare early massive tombak (Buntmetall) example which shows outstanding detail and still retains most of its original bronze finish. The badge is maker marked with a small "W" indicating production by the company of 'Karl Wurster' from Markneukirchen. The hinge and catch are original, the pin however looks to have been replaced, see photos. Still a rare and desirable original early badge in good used and worn condition!
