Infantry Assault Badge in Silver

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 late war, die struck  Zinc badge. The badge is complete with crimped in hinge and soldered on catch. Retention pin is also intact. The badge shows traces of silver paint to the obverse, reverse has about 90% of the original silver paint wash still intact.

Should be pretty easy to find out which maker produced this badge!!
