'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen in Silber' (Infantry Assault Badge). The Infantry Assault Badge in silver was introduced on 20 December 1939 by Generaloberst 'Walther von Brauchitsch', for award to all ranks of non-motorized, Infantry and Mountain Infantry units who participated in three different assaults on three different days. The hollow design badge is executed in 'Buntmetall' (tombak) and still retains a fair amount of its original silver finish, the badge is having a nice age patina. The pin and catch are complete and functional. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to the company of 'Wilhelm Deumer' from Lüdenscheid. Nice original early war badge in good condition!
