Superb - and 'virtually mint'! - 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer assault badge or PAB) being a neat (I deem) somewhat later-war-period zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) version as was procuced by the: 'Frank u. Reif'-company

This is a truly very attractive - and I deem hardly used nor worn and truly very nicely preserved! - so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber' (or: silver-class panzer assault badge or PAB) being (I deem) a typical somewhat later-war-period- and (as more often) non-maker-marked, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen that was procuced by the: 'Frank u. Reif'-company and that comes in an overall very nice- (and I deem just minimally used- ie. still 'virtually mint'-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns an (I deem somewhat later-war-period-) zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen that truly retains most (ie. all!) of its (bright) silver-toned finish: moreover, does this piece show nice pronounced detail and/or finish as to be expected (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge - that still shows some of it 'off-factory' polished highlighted areas! - is just a tiny bit stained- and/or tarnished as mentioned above. As stated above, is the piece a non-maker-marked example that shows the various characteristics - such as for example the typically-shaped pin-set-up and typical catch(set-up) - as only seen on PABs as produced by the: 'Frank & Reif’-company based in the town of Stuttgart: it deals with a so-called: 'non-maker-marked solid-zinc'-pattern award (as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '4.5.3.' 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 quite pronounced - 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 nice and honest, silver-class 'variant'-PAB by the: 'Frank u. Reif'-company and that comes in an overall very nice and/or fully untouched condition!
