SMGQ-0198 Panzer Assault Badge in Bronze By Rudolf Souval

A handsome badge with sharp details. The bronze coating has darkened but is present in most areas. In some areas the bronze coating is a copper tone and is very appealing. There is some zinc oxidation developing on the left side of the wreath but it doesn’t seem to be progressive. The left top oak leaf has a little imperfection from an impurity in the zinc that caused it to oxidize and “pop” off. Hardware is perfect on the back with a thin variant maker mark on the back as well. type 5.1.3 in De Bocks new Panzer Badge book.
