This medal has excellent details and shows only light wear. The remaining zinc has toned to a nice gun metal gray color. This badge is very nicely marked on the reverse with the BSW cloverleaf logo for Bruder Schneider A.G. The pin setup is a bit stiff, but still functions as it should. This is a handsome badge in very good shape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif;\"\u003eHistory: The infantry assault badge in silver was introduced on December 20th, 1939 by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsh, as an award for officer’s and EM\/NCO’s of non-motorized infantry and Mountain infantry units. 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\/NCO’s 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":51659269570866,"sku":null,"price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/9332\/files\/WW2_German_Infantry_Assault_Badge_0128.jpg?v=1787774670","url":"https:\/\/www.therupturedduck.com\/products\/german-wwii-infantry-assault-badge-in-silver-37","provider":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
