wash to the high points and retains approximately 40%. The rifle butt has the correct scoop out to the reverse.

the badge a grey in colour. In vgc and a scarce maker to acquire.

|
(E1540) A mid war example of a Silver but could possibly be Bronze Infantry Assault badge by the maker
"S.H.u.Co 41". There has been much speculation as to what the 41 represents. I personally brlieve it was the
year the badge die was manufactured and used for the making of this award. The badge retains nice clear sharp
detail and has either tarnished giving it a bronze colour, or is in fact a bronze that is used and worn in
service with the high points worn and turned to a silver colour. In vgc

(F545) A Silver Infantry Assault badge being of nice quality and construction. The badge has toned a slate grey

|

intact. Other than that it is a nice badge

(F1353) A mid to late war example of a Panzer Badge by the well known maker AS, which is believed
to be, by many, Adolf Schultz. The badge is the later style of silver washed zinc and the example shows some pitting
and tarnishing to the front of the badge as can be seen from the scan. I believe it to have been either poorly stored,
or a metal detector find and is priced as such
. GBP £ 75.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(G635) A possible Bronze Tank Battle Badge in very nice condition. The highlights of the badge have worn through to the zinc and the badge is highly convexed.

Very good condition. GBP £ 120.00 (UK Pounds)

This is still bright to the front although it has toned to the reverse. Very nice to find, the badge is a textbook example from this maker. GBP £ 165.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(G847) A nice example of the rarely encountered Silver Panzer Badge by the maker AS. The mark is to be found to the left hand 9 o clock position just behind the tank track. It has been wongly asserted that this badge was manufactured by the firm of Adolf Schultz but this cannot be confirmed as the die is different to the front as well as the fittings to the reverse. The badge is of nice silver plated metal and is probably base zinc underneath, with the usual crimped in hinge and hook. Very scarce to find. GBP £200.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(G928) A mid war bronze Panzer badge by the maker KWM. The badge is in nice condition and with a nicely soldered hinge and hook to the reverse.

The badge retains a high proportion of it's silver finish to the front, but over the years, the reverse has absorbed much of the finish into it. There is minimal wear to the silver front as can be seen, and all in all, the badge has a nice appearance. A similar example can be seen in the book German Panzer Badge Book of WWII by Jamie Cross and Gordon Williamson on page 20. GBP £ 175.00 (UK Pounds)

Pounds)
