This is an attractive - and I deem just moderately used ie. worn - so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer assault badge or PAB) being a neat non-maker-marked, typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen (of the so-called: 'early-period, hollow-zinc, Type A'-variant) that was procuced by the: 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns an (I deem fairly early-war-period-) zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen that has lost mosy of its silver-toned finish (something that is more often case with this type of PAB): the piece is, however, showing great pronounced detail and/or finish as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge is still a tiny bit dirty ie. stained- and tarnished as mentioned above. As stated above, is the piece a typical, non-maker-marked example that shows the various characteristics - such as for example the typically-shaped- and 'round-shaped' catch-set-up and typical small block-hinge pin-set-up - as only seen on these PABs as produced by the: 'Wilhelm Deumer'-company based in the town of Lüdenscheid: it deals with a so-called: 'early-period, hollow-zinc, Type A'-variant) as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '2.1.3.' according to the excellent reference-work entitled: 'The Panzer-Assault badge of WWII' by my Belgian friend Philippe de Bock). The neat piece - which is quite pronounced - naturally shows all the details as to be expected for a badge by this particular maker. It was found as such at a German private-household and was never before part of a collection. Simply a very nice and honest, silver-class PAB by the 'Wilhelm Deumer'- company that comes in a just moderately used and/or worn condition!
