(Wehrmacht Abzeichen). A pair of service badges, including:
1. A Panzer Assault Badge, Silver Grade, constructed of silvered zink, the obverse consisting of an oval oak leaf wreath, joined together at the bottom by ribbon, topped by a Heer-style German national eagle clutching a mobile swastika, around a central Panzer IV rolling over grassy terrain, with its left tread extending beyond the edge of the wreath, the reverse with a crimped hinge and vertical pinback meeting a round wire catch, maker marked with the logo of E. Ferdinand Wiedmann, Frankfurt, measuring 42.26 mm (w) x 60.15 mm (h), weighing 30.5 grams, a rare example of a zink badge retaining virtually all of its original silver finish, in near mint condition.
