Infantry Assault Badge in Silver by F. Zimmermann
An Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen in Silber by Fritz Zimmermann of Stuttgart. Instituted December 20, 1939, the Infantry Assault Badge in Silver was awarded to foot infantrymen who had taken part in combat action on different days and met the required award criteria. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The oval shaped obverse depicts a rifle and bayonet below a Heer closed winged eagle clutching a mobile swastika within its talons. This is all surrounded by an acorn and oak leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The semi-full back reverse correctly displays the encircled “FZZS” maker mark. It also features a crimped-on round plate nickel-silver block hinge, crimped-on round plate steel flatwire catch and steel round wire pin. The silver finish has been absorbed by the zinc. It measures 2 1/2 inches tall by 1 7/8 inches wide.
