The back of the badge is marked with a capitalized, stylized “AS” in a triangle, an unknown maker (was thought to be Adolphe Scholze but has since been determined to not be, with the triangle marking) thank you GS. Hinge and catch assembly are intact and function perfectly. Finish is 90%.

The criteria for the badge varied, with the main qualification being the participation in three separate infantry assaults.  On June 1st, 1940, a bronze version of this Infantry Assault Badge was introduced as an award to Officer’s and EM\/NCOs of Motorized infantry units. The criteria for the bronze badge matched those of the silver badge; again, with the main qualification being the participation in three separate motorized infantry assaults.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51583650398514,"sku":"M-301a","price":270.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/9332\/files\/WW1_German_Infanry_Assault_Badge_34594.jpg?v=1786982678","url":"https:\/\/www.therupturedduck.com\/products\/german-wwii-army-ss-silver-infantry-assault-badge-7","provider":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
