Infantry Assault Badge

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 crimped in hinge, pin and crimped in catch assembly. The badge has lost virtually all of it’s silver or bronze finish.

Well preserved example which unfortunately has lost it’s finsih, priced accordingly!!
