Mid-war solid zinc made Panzer Assault Badge In Bronze. Unmarked but attributed to the Stuttgart-based maker Fritz Zimmermann. Apart from finish fading in very good factory original condition.(cf. The German Panzer Assault Badge of WW II, 2021, Philippe De Bock, pages 275-276)

Solid Tombac/Buntmetall made Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze. Manufactured by the Markneukirchen-based maker Karl Wurster and maker marked with the maker’s early logo a ‘small w’. Wurster was the only maker to produce solid Buntmetall Combat awards over a longer period of time making these awards rare and very sought after by collectors. This early ‘die 1’ variant survives in very good condition with only minor traces of actual wear. (cf. The German Panzer Assault Badge of WW II, 2021, Philippe De Bock, pages 93-94)

Mid-war hollow zinc-made Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze. Unmarked but safely attributed to the Lüdenscheid based maker Wilhelm Deumer. The award shows some wear and tear but otherwise remains in factory original condition with a good amount of finish left. (cf. The German Panzer Assault Badge of WW II, 2021, Philippe De Bock, pages 313-314)

Mid-war hollow zinc-made Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze. Unmarked but safely attributed to the Berlin-based maker C.E. Juncker. A remarkable example that broke in two and by the looks of it was crudely field repaired by its recipient. Apart from the wreath repair also some solder was used to re-attache the swastika to the panzer. A PAB that, if able to talk, for sure had some stories to tell. (cf. The German Panzer Assault Badge of WW II, 2021, Philippe De Bock, pages 59-60)
