Description
Infantry Assault Badge in Silver is a classic, one-look-original example of this wartime combat award. It’s struck from a fine zinc alloy. As is common with these zinc pieces, the silver finish has faded away with time, and this badge has reverted to the dull gray color of the base metal. The obverse shows light wear and age, with an uncleaned patina. Loads of fine detail remain. The reverse of this Infantry Assault Badge in Silver is flat and smooth. It’s maker marked behind the swastika with a stylized “FZZS” in a circle, indicating manufacture by the firm of Fritz Zimmermann in Stuttgart. The hardware setup features a block hinge, functional round wire attachment pin, and a “C” catch with catch plate. Intact finish on the hardware and solder leaves no doubt as to the grade of this badge, and also shows that this badge has never been repaired. This badge is a nice representative piece.
