Type 2.1 - Bandenkampfabzeichen in Silber by C. E. Juncker of Berlin. Instituted January 30, 1944, the Anti-Partisan Badge was awarded to the Whermacht, Ordnungspolizei and Waffen SS for 50 days (75 days for Luftwaffe) of deployment against partisan activity behind German lines. It is constructed out of a die struck, zinc-alloy base that has been silver washed. The obverse features a centrally placed downward pointing broad sword, that has a sun wheel swastika to the round crossguard and is plunged into a Hydra consisting of five serpents and skull and crossbones. There is a half oak leaf and acorn wreath to the top. There are three cut-outs in between the snakes. The reverse shows a semi-hollow scooped back with the correct soldered-on long barrel hinge, soldered-on flat wire catch and round wire needle pin. It shows gorgeous detail. Approximately 40%+ of the silver wash remains intact. I only get one of these a year. If you’ve been on the hunt now is your chance.
