Superb, 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: hollow-back, bronze-class panzer assault badge or PAB) being a neat zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) version (of the so-called: 'first'-pattern) as was procuced by the: 'Paul Meybauer'-company

This is a very attractive - and just moderately used- ie. worn - example of a hollow-back: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: bronze-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a non-maker-marked- and/or typical zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example (of the so-called: 'first'- ie. formerly known as '7-wheeler'-) pattern and that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit just minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns an (I deem later- ie. mid-war-period-), typical zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-based specimen that truly retains most (ie. all!) of its bronze-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 typically-shaped 'pin' and/or soldered catch-set-up - typically seen with PABs as produced by the: 'Paul Meybauer'-company: it deals with a so-called: 'first pattern hollow-zinc'-type (as uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '4.3.4.' 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 part of a collection. Simply a neat and honest, bronze-class PAB that comes in an overall very nice albeit minimally used ie. worn, condition!
