Original World War II Panzer Assault Badge in Silver (Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber), awarded to German armored troops for participation in armored combat operations.
The badge features a detailed Panzer tank advancing through terrain, surrounded by an oval oakleaf wreath, surmounted by the national eagle clutching a swastika.
This silver-grade badge was awarded to Panzer crew members who took part in multiple combat engagements, making it a classic and highly sought-after frontline combat award.
This example is unmarked, as commonly seen with several wartime manufacturers.
Constructed in zinc with a silvered finish, now showing natural aging and wear consistent with period use.
Condition:
Good overall condition. Noticeable finish wear with age toning and surface oxidation typical of zinc construction.
Details remain well defined, especially on the tank and wreath.
Reverse retains its original pin, hinge, and catch, all intact and functional, with expected age-related oxidation.
A solid, honest example of a genuine combat badge.
