Here we have a General Assault Badge by Unknown Maker #4 (1.21.7). The General Assault Badge (Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen) was awarded to Army, Waffen-SS and Ordnungspolizei personnel who supported an infantry attack in three separate assaults but did not qualify for the Infantry Assault Badge. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a closed winged eagle, clutching a mobile swastika within its talons, above a crossed model 24 grenade and K98 bayonet. This is then all surrounded by an oak leaf and acorn wreath. The full back reverse used a magnetic hardware with a soldered on sheet metal hinge and round wire pin. The catch his original and has been resoldered at some point, when , where or by who I do not know. See page 248 of "German Awards of WWII" by Heukemes.
