Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze by Zimmermann
A Type A - Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze by Fritz Zimmermann of Stuttgart. 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 bronze class was presented to the Panzergrenadier regiments, tank assault crew, armored reconnaissance units, and medical personnel who went into battle in armored vehicles. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been bronze 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 full-back reverse displays the previously known as “Juncker set-up” of: a soldered-on oval plate flatwire catch, soldered-on block hinge and 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. Gorgeous detail.
