Title General assault badge
Nationality German
Period c 1941
Sold

An early example in die-struck tombak with silver-wash finish, of which 95% is retained, with some rubbing on the highlights. No maker mark. These early die-struck pieces are relatively uncommon, compared with the solid zinc variety issued later.

This badge was awarded for those who had taken part in infantry assaults (Waffen SS and Army), other than infantry and armoured units, ie artillery, engineers and medical personnel.

I am more and more pleased with the sword, and am wondering whether to do an article on it...
