A Silber Panzerkampfabzeichen by Adolf Scholze, Grünwald a. N.! The panzer assault badge was awarded to those who had either; taken part in three armored assaults in three different days, had been wounded in the course of an assault or who had earned a bravery decoration in the course of an assault. The silver class was presented to tank commanders, gunners or radio operators who went into battle in armored vehicles. It is constructed out of a die struck, zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a panzer tank, above a grass field, which is beneath a national closed winged eagle, clutching a mobile swastika in its talons, and is all surrounded by an oval laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The reverse features a semi-full back with the correct embossed "AS" (Adolf Scholze, Grünwald a. N), in a triangle, maker mark. It has the correct crimped flat wire catch, round ball hinge, and sturdy buntmetall round wire pin! It measures approximately 2 ½ inches tall by 1 11/16 inches wide. It retains wonderful detail and silver wash! See page 382 of Philippe de Bocks PAB book. Nice!
