Description
25 Numbered Engagement Panzer Assault Badge Silver Grade. This 25 Numbered Engagement Panzer Assault Badge is a really great looking example of this extremely desirable award. It is made of zinc, as all of these were. The obverse of this one is outstanding, and retains most of the original finish. The wreath, eagle and swastika emblem still have most of the original silvering. The large tank emblem shows appealing dark burnishing. The front of this badge retains wonderful detail, and shows only minimal wear. The “25” box has most of the original paint in the recesses. This 25 Numbered Engagement Panzer Assault Badge is all original, with no repairs. There is no maker mark, but this piece is known to have been manufactured by JFS. The hardware is textbook for this maker. There is minimal finish fading, and some light age toning. The rivets are tight. This is a choice example of a rare award that is missing from most collections. It is complete and sound, and remains in excellent condition. The catch has the little lines on it that these originals have. This example was a vet-family pickup some years back. LH12235
