This is a truly very attractive - and actually scarcely encountered! - example of a so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: bronze panzer-assault badge or PAB), being a typical 'hollow-back', non-maker-marked- (and/or: 'Buntmetall'- ie. 'Tombak'-) based example as was procuced by the: 'Karl Würster'-company and that comes in a wonderful- (ie. just moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns an (I deem fairly early-war-period) 'Buntmetall'- (ie. Tombak-) based specimen that retains most (ie. all!) of its brownish- (ie. golden-bronze-) coloured finish: the piece has a somewhat 'shiny' ie. typical 'Buntmetall'-like appearance. The badge has not been cleaned nor polished recently (and is just a tiny bit tarnished as mentioned above). As stated above, is the piece non-maker-marked and shows various characteristics - such as for example the typical pin and/or soldered catch-set-up - typically seen with PABs as produced by the: 'Karl Würster'-company: it deals with a so-called: 'Hollow Organized Grass Pattern Tombak piece' (as uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '1.2.3' 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 very pronounced and has great pronounced detail - 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 attractive and honest bronze-class PAB that comes in an overall very nice and just moderately used- ie. worn condition!
