A Silber Panzerkampfabzeichen by Adolf Scholze of Grünwald a. N. Instituted December 20, 1939, 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 semi-hollow back reverse is maker marked, within a triangle: “A.S.” (Adolf Scholze, Grünwald a. N.). It also displays a crimped-on ball hinge, crimped-on flat catch and sturdy round wire pin. All of the components are non-magnetic and remain in well working condition. It measures 2 3/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide. It retains wonderful detail and silver wash.
