€165.00
The Infantry Assault Badge in silver was introduced on December 20th 1939 by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch for award to Officers and EM/NCOs of non-motorized Infantry and Mountain Infantry units. Criteria for bestowal of the badge varied, with the main qualification being participation in three separate Infantry assaults. On June 1st 1940 a bronze version of the Infantry Assault Badge was introduced for award to Officers and EM/NCOs of Motorized Infantry units.
This is a die struck Zinc award. The badge is complete with soldered on hinge, pin and soldered catch assembly. The badge still retains a good portion of it’s original silver paint.
Very nice exampel!!
