Panzer Assault Badge in Black – Fine zinc bronzed, pin hinge broken off

Article number: 21.555

The Panzer Assault Badge in Black with a swastika was awarded to members of the German armored forces who had participated in at least three tank combat days. The fine zinc version, bronzed, is a typical feature of later war production from 1943 onwards, when higher quality materials became scarce – an authentic contemporary document of the German armaments industry. The piece is a high-quality collector's reproduction that is hard to distinguish from the original.

Note: The pin hinge is broken off – the badge is ideal as a display piece or for collectors looking for an inexpensive example of this rare fine zinc version.
