'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a (typical) non-maker-marked- and/or hollow zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example as was produced by the: 'Wilh. Deumer'-company

This is an attractive - albeit clearly ie. moderately used- ie. worn! - example of a: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a non-maker-marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The attractive badge on offer here concerns a somewhat early-war-period (and hollow-back!) typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based specimen that retains a fair bit of its (somewhat tarnished) silver-toned finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge has - I deem - never been cleaned nor polished (and is still also a tiny bit dirty ie. stained- ie. tarnished as mentioned above). As stated above, is the piece a non-maker-marked example that shows various characteristics - such as for example the typical-shaped, square-sized 'pin-mounting' and/or catch-set-up - typically seen with PABs as produced by the: 'Wilhelm Deumer-company based in the town of Lüdenscheid: it deals (I deem) with a so-called: 'hollow zinc “early”-pattern' (as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '2.1.2.' 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 maintained great 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 in a collection. Simply an attractive and honest, silver-class PAB that comes in an overall nice albeit moderately used- ie. worn, condition!
