A Second War German Silver Grade Infantry Assault Badge

A mid-war example of a German “Infanterie-Sturmabzeichen” silver grade; stamped oval shaped oak leaf wreath in silvered zink, with a national eagle clutching a swastika on the top and a bowtie on the bottom. Diagonally across the badge is a Karabiner 98k with the bayonet attached to the front of the barrel and the carrying sling hanging from the rifle; the reverse plain; with a vertical round wire pinback, a sheet metal hinge, and a round wire catch; unmarked; measuring 61.73 mm x 47.67 mm; weighing 17.9 grams; with nearly all of the original silver finish worn off due to age and wear, but with enough silvering remaining to positively identify this as a silver grade Infantry Assault badge; in overall better than fine condition.
