Title Miniature tank battle pin, bronze class
Nationality German
Period c 1940-45
Sold

The badge, for which this pin is the miniature, was instituted on 1 June 1940 for the crews of armoured vehicles other than tanks, ie self-propelled gunners, Panzer Grenadiers, anti-tank units, medics and support units within the Panzer division. This badge is 1.5cm high (excluding the pin itself).

The bronze finish is clearly visible throughout. However, the pot metal base shows through in places. There is a kink in the pin, but otherwise the whole piece is quite sound with no repairs.

Picked up the dirk this morning and actually waited until I got back home before unwrapping the package. It really exceeded my expectations...whilst the photos were good, to see and feel it in three dimensions was very exciting. A beatutful piece Chris, and worth the wait.
