'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a later-war-period, non-maker-marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen as was procuced by the maker: 'Schauerte & Höhfeld'

This is an attractive - albeit clearly issued- and/or worn! - example of a 'hollow-styled', so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a (typical) later-war-period, non-maker-marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen as was (presumably) procuced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Schauerte & Höhfeld' as based in the town of Lüdenscheid and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem clearly used- and/or worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns (I deem) a truly later-war-period, zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based specimen that retains a fair bit of its (light-toned) silverish-coloured finish and that is just tarnished over the years: nevertheless, does it still have an attractive appearance, still showing pronounced detail as to be expected by a badge by this particular maker. The badge - which has a typical, somewhat 'blackened' zinc-type age-patina - has, however, I deem never been cleaned nor polished (and is still a tiny bit dirty ie. stained- ie. 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 typical pin-set-up, silver-coloured- and thin-shaped pin and/or copper-toned catch - as only seen on PABs as produced by this maker: it deals with a so-called: 'Schauerte & Höhfeld - Hollow zinc'-pattern (as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '2.3.2' according to the excellent reference-work entitled: 'The Panzer-Assault badge of WWII' by my Belgian friend Philippe de Bock). This piece naturally shows all the details as to be expected for a badge by this particular maker. The award was recently found as such at a German private-household and was never before part of a collection. Simply an attractive and honest silverclass 'hollow-styled' PAB that is with certainty accordingly priced!
