RD783.)NUMBERED PANZER ASSAULT BADGE FOR 50 ENGAGEMENTS: identical to the example illustrated in Niemann's Orders and Decorations of Germany 1871-1945, page 606 (lower left specimen). Ask for more close-up and detailed photos should you be interested in buying this gem stunner. A remarkable vintage copy and one made to deceive, as fine as any original. Constructed of the correct bronze alloy, semi-hollow and well detailed, crisp. Separately applied '50' plaque at base and separately applied panzer motif with rivets on back. Reverse has the correct barrel hinge and long, pointed pin. Not maker marked as is identical to Niemann's identical example. This gem was bought as original of course many years ago. The only reason why you'll know that it's a clever old fake is because we are telling you that it is! EXC++++
