Panzer Assault Badge in Silver by H. Aurich
A Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber by Hermann Aurich of Dresden. Instituted December 20, 1939, the Panzer Assault Badge was awarded to those who had either; taken part in three armored assaults in three different days, had been wounded in the course of an assault or who had earned a bravery decoration in the course of an assault. The silver class was presented to tank commanders, gunners or radio operators who went into battle in armored vehicles. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The obverse depicts a panzer tank, above a grass field, which is beneath a national closed winged eagle, clutching a mobile swastika in its talons, and is all surrounded by an oval laurel leaf wreath that is tied together at the bottom. The fullback reverse shows the correct maker marked “HA”, has a crimped-on round plate hinge, crimped-on round wire catch and sturdy steel round wire pin. The finish is lost to time. It could be bronze. It measures 2 3/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide.
