Panzer Assault Badge Silver By Frank & Reif With Presentation Packet

An outstanding original mid to late war Heer Panzer Assault Badge in Silver by  Frank & Reif of Stuttgart, complete with its original presentation packet. The badge is constructed in zinc and retains a bright silver wash with nice patina. The reverse is flat and unmarked, as is typical of this attributed variant, and features a sheet-metal hinge with a flat-wire catch soldered to a square backplate. This construction style makes it a particularly rare and desirable example for collectors. The Panzer Assault Badge remains in exceptional condition, with no damage or repairs. The accompanying presentation packet is also very well preserved, further enhancing the overall appeal of the set. A superb near-mint example that is rarely encountered in this condition today. This would be a difficult piece to upgrade and would make an excellent addition to any serious collection.

Description

Panzer Assault Badge Silver

The Panzer Assault Badge Bronze was instituted on 1.6.1940, the version was created for panzer grenadier units equipped with armoured vehicles, as well as other infantry, armoured reconnaissance and medical units serving with Panzer divisions.  From 31 December 1942 armoured unit repair teams could receive the silver badge for repairing tanks in combat conditions on three different days.

In June 1943 additional tank badges were instituted including the silver version and other variations for 25, 50, 75 and 100 armoured actions. The number of engagements required for these higher-level badges could be reduced for those with previous long and continuous frontline service or who had received disabling wounds.
