'Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen' - Deumer

Description

General Assault Badge (Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen). The General Assault badge was introduced on 1 June 1940 by 'Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch' for award to support personnel who were ineligible for the Infantry or Panzer Assault badges. Criteria for award of the badge was basically the same as the criteria for award of the Infantry and Panzer Assault badges with the main qualification being participation in three separate assaults in a supporting role. The heavily tombak coated zinc type badge still retains most of its original silver finish, the bage is showing a great patina. The badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the company of 'Wilhelm Deumer' from Lüdenscheid. The badge is complete with a functional pin and catch. Scarce and hard to find variant in very good condition!
