Relic- (ie. denazified), mid- (ie. later-) war-period, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Erdkampfabzeichen' as was produced by the: 'J.E. Hammer u. Söhne'-company

This is a neat - regrettably denazified ie. relic and I deem mid- (ie. later-) war-period - typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based version of a so-called: WH (Luftwaffe) 'Erdkampfabzeichen' (or: ground-combat badge) being a (typical) non-maker-marked example that was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'J.E. Hammer u. Söhne' and having a 'separately' (ie. firmly riveted) bright-silver-coloured (and 'Buntmetall'-based) eagle-device originally-attached and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. clearly issued and regrettably incomplete-), condition. The neat and detailed badge comes naturally mounted onto its functional pin- and/or typical, 'J.E. Hammer'-type pin-set-up and shows a (fully functionnal and never altered) catch (as can be noticed on the pictures). These mid- (ie. later-) war-period badges show a 'loose' and/or detailed bright-silver-coloured eagle-device attached (by means of a single rivet as is visible on the back). These zinc-based badges show, however, nice and/or pronounced detail overall. The badge retains most of its period finish but does show a minimally tarnished age-patina as is more often encountered. The badge can with certainty be attributed to the desirable maker: 'J.E. Hammer u. Söhne' based in the town of Geringswalde: the specific details on this badge naturally fully corroborate this. The piece was (I deem) never cleaned: the bright-silver-coloured eagle-device also retains a detailed appearance (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a neat - and garuanteed original! - zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based by 'J.E. Hammer u. Söhne'-produced 'variant' of this desirable LW-war-badge that is of course priced according to its relic- ie. denazified, condition!
