(J180) An Infantry Assault Badge in Silver by FLL and maker marked L/61, their LDO mark . The badge is of nice quality and construction and has the unique hinge and hook used by this maker on this badge. The LDO mark for the firm of Fredrich Linden of Ludenscheid is stamped into the back of the eagle. The badge retains a high percentage of it's original finish, although it has been used and worn. A very very rare LDO maker to acquire. GBP £250.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K393) A nice example of a Hollow Backed Infantry Assault Badge. The badge I would say, is a silver example, although it has toned a dark colour overall and is the type with the hook and hinge soldered onto plates which are then in turn soldered to the badge. A nice variation to acquire, this type is shown in many textbooks. Given for three combat engagements on different days. GBP £ 90.00 (UK Pounds)
|
( K855) A Mid War Infantry Assault Badge by the maker RSS and has the features associated with this maker. The badge has the ball hinge that is countersunk into the back of the badge with the raised letters just below the hinge. The hook is encompassed in a rectangle of metal to the base. The overall condition of the badge is very good but it has lost much of it's original silver washed finish and has turned a grey slate in colour. This badge is to be used in a forthcoming article in the publication Armourer. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K943) A Late war Infantry Assault Badge by the maker FO for Fredrich Orth. The badge is the type with the covered wagon hinge soldered into a retaining box and a pirate hook soldered direct into the badge. The badge is of mid to late war and is a grey zinc that has turned black. A very scarce maker to acquire. GBP £175.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K975) A scarce example of the semi-hollow Infantry Assault badge being what some people state to be the unmarked hollow RSS type. The badge has the hinge and hook features from this maker and the eagle does indeed look like the JFS and RSS style. The badge is in very good condition, although there has been some minor loss of silver plating in places as can be seen from the scan. This is definitely one for the infantry assault badge collector. GBP £225.00 (uk pounds)
|
(K1003) A Silver Infantry Assault Badge by the maker Assmann and partially marked as such to the reverse to the centre of the rifle. This is the type with the semi scooped out rifle and bayonet and has featured in many different articles as an Assmann variation. The badge is very nicely made with very good detail although this one appears to have a beard, where the excess metal wasn't cut out. The badge is of mid war quality and appears to have been silvered at some time. This has turned more of a grey zinc colour. A very nice infantry assault badge variation, the badge is one of the harder variations of the Assmann type to acquire. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1004) An Infantry Assault Badge in Bronze metal that has turned more of a blackish colour. The badge is heavily detailed and appears to come from the J B & CO die. The badge has the features associated with this maker of a ball hinge countersunk to the back of the badge and a countersunk hook with a nice slim needle pin that is magnetic. The badge is of zinc construction and is in very good condition. GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1404) A Nice example of a Mid War Infantry Assault Badge being the type that has both the hinge and hook held in place by two rivets, within a half moon raised edging. The badge has both the hinge and hook made from bronzed metal and this type can be found in most of the major textbooks. So far, no maker has been put forward for this manufacturer and it classed as quite scarce to find due to the unique set up of the hinge and hook. This style of hinge and hook though has been encountered on maker marked JFS general assault badges. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1418) An RS Infantry Assault Badge. The badge is a textbook example being constructed of zinc with the maker's mark RS just under the hinge. The bottom two legs of the R are squashed, which is something encountered quite a lot with these badges. The hinge was soldered originally within the retaining block, but this one has been sloppily soldered so that it is not within the confines of the box. The hook is affixed with a little plate to the reverse, making it a very nice example. The badge is of late zinc construction and of nice quality. GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1420) A Nice variation Infantry Assault Badge being a Silver plated over zinc example. This has lifted in places giving a two toned zinc and silver finish, that can be seen from the scan. The badge is of nice quality and condition and is considered to be an unknown maker. The badge has a countersunk hinge and hook, with the hinge being the small type of simple metal folded. Very nice to find. GBP £100.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1425) A Silver Infantry Assault Badge by the maker S.H. u. Co and marked as such just under the hinge. The badge has had a hook repair as can be seen from the scan. Nice to find a textbook example of the S.H. u. Co. These maker marked infantry assault badges are getting harder to find now. Priced for condition. GBP £85.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1426) A Very Nice example of a Hollow backed Infantry Assault badge being nicely convexed. The badge has a nice pin, hinge and hook soldered directly to the zinc sheet metal and the hinge is a nice covered wagon style. The badge is of very nice quality, construction and detailing. A nice variation for the infantry assault badge collector. GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1427) A Nice example of an unusual Infantry Assault badge. This is of semi-hollow construction. The badge is of very nice quality and construction, with a nice hinge and hook soldered to the reverse. The badge is manufactured from sheet zinc given extra strength by the fabrication of the award. A very nice variation to acquire. GBP £125.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1461) A Mid War Infantry Assault Badge by the maker AS within a triangle. The badge is semi-convexed and has a nice non-magnetic needle pin affixed to the back within a ball hinge and a small countersunk hook. The badge retains a high percentage of it's original aluminium finish and the award is a textbook example by AS. Hard to find, all the marked infantry assault badges have been going up steadily over the last few months. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1479) A Hollow Backed Bronze Infantry Assault Badge being one of the more scarce semi-solid back types. The badge is of nice quality and construction and is of mid war manufacture. As of yet, this manufacturer has not been identified but is one of the more rare ones to acquire. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(L103) A mid to late war Silver Infantry Assault Badge being the hollow pressed type stamped from zinc sheet metal. The badge is the type attributed to the firm of Mayer L/18 and has all the attributes associated with this maker. The badge has nice clean die work and is of nice quality and construction . GBP £ 75.00(UK Pounds)
|
(L181) A Nice mid to late war Infantry Assault Badge by the rare maker WR42. In the Infantry Assault Badge book by S Weber, he states that it is believed that it is Werner Redo and the 42 is the date the die was manufactured. This cannot be proven but I feel is a reasonable assumption. This badge is a textbook example of one of the types shown in the book for this maker an example is shown on page 176. The badge as is usual for one from this company, the finish has now faded, giving it a slate grey finish. All in all, an excellent example of a rare maker to acquire. GBP £295.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(L567) A Nice example of a CW marked Silver Infantry Assault Badge. The badge is a textbook example of this maker, with the nice long necked eagle, with very nice detailing. The badge is of zinc construction with a silver plating over it. This has worn giving a two toned silver finish. The CW mark is to be found to the reverse just under the hinge. Very nice to get hold of, these badges by Carl Wilde are considered quite scarce to acquire. GBP £135.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(L818) A Bronze Infantry Assault Badge, being an unmarked example but believed to be SH u CO. The award is of late war construction but still retains much of its original bronzed finish. Very nice to find a bronze example. There are more rare than their silver counterparts. The badge was picked up by an RAF Sergeant who was billeted in Berlin at the end of the war and traded these with the family for chocolate etc. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)

As such, it has the type of hinge and hook encountered on their awards. The badge retains a high percentage of it's original bronze finish and is a nice zinc badge. There are no maker's marks that can be seen. GBP £150.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K368) A Nice example of a variant Silver Panzer Badge. This is the type with the funny hinge and hook (best to see the picture). The badge is in very good condition and would have been mint but due to bad storage, it has oxidised in places, as you see from the scan. Definitely one for the panzer badge collector, this variant doesn't turn up too often. GBP £ 250.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K390) A nice example of a fully maker marked Bronze Panzer badge by the well known maker Frank & Reif. The badge carries it's full mark to the reverse. The badge is slightly convexed and retains a high proportion of it's original bronze finish, with only a few darkened spots. Becoming increasingly hard to find, especially marked. GBP £325.00 (UK Pounds)
|

The badge also has a nice pin hinge and hook arrangement soldered to the reverse and has horizontal machine lines running from left to right. A nice quality die struck badge in very good condition. A nice variation for the panzer badge collector. GBP £195.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1329) A Textbook example of a Panzer Badge in Silver grade. The badge is constructed from fine zinc and as such, the badge has oxidised.

|
(K1410) A fairly standard Panzer Badge being the type that has a dished reverse, which has zinc striping to it. The hinge and hook are the type not often encountered, but accepted by some as being Steinhauer and Luck fittings. The front retains most of the aluminium finish and the badge has very nice detailing. A very hard badge to acquire, this is a nice variation badge. GBP £225.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(K1450) A Tank Battle Badge by the maker AS within a triangle. The badge was recently purchased from the family of an American veteran who have had it since the end of the war.

|
(L15) A Nice example of a Silver Panzer Badge being an unmarked Frank & Reif example. The badge is of zinc metal with an aluminium finish. This has faded in places but is still bright in others.

|
(L127) A Rare example of a Coupal manufactured Tank Badge by the maker Assmann. The badge is identical to their standard stamped zinc varieties, but is around 5 gramms lighter and shows a silver edge which is often a feature of this product. Very few of these badges have been found, normally they weigh in at around 17 gramms, this one is around 12 gramms. Other than that, it matches all known textbook examples for this maker. The silver finish is very nice and the quality and workmanship is also very good. A very rare badge to acquire, one for the specialist panzer badge collector. GBP £500.00 (UK Pounds)
|
(L227) A Nice example of a hollow back Panzer Badge in very nice condition, and of late war manufacture. The badge is of silver plated zinc and still retains much of its original silver plated finish.

|
(L407) A Superb example of a Bronze flat backed maker marked FLL43 Panzer Badge. The badge is in near mint condition and retains virtually 100% of its bronze plated finish. The badge is of superb quality and condition and is a textbook example complete with the die flaw. |
