Panzerkampfabzeichen mit Einsatzzahl 25 in Silber by Josef Feix Söhne of Gablonz (unmarked). The Grade II Panzer Assault Badge was awarded to recognize those who had taken part in 25 days of combat. The silver class was presented to tank commanders, gunners or radio operators who went into battle in armored vehicles. As the war progressed, it became apparent that a single Panzer badge was no longer adequate to recognize the growing number of armored veterans. Therefore, in June 1943, additional classes of the award were introduced for 25, 50, 75, and 100 Panzer engagements two-piece construction; badge in silvered tombac with a silvered wreath and a hollow blackened/patinated finezink Panzer III; bronze plate depicting the number “25” on a darkened background; slightly vaulted; vertical broad pinback with a functional hinge/catch assembly (note the embedded and crimped hinge and catch); unmarked; but textbook example of “Josef Feix & Sohn, Gablonz an der Neisse” construction; 61.96 mm x 47.63 mm; 30.2g. Near mint and hardly worn condition.
