This is a World War II German Infantry Assault badge in silver. The badge in silver was introduced 20 December, 1939 by Generaloberst Walther Von Brauchitsch. The award was authorized for officers, NCO's and enlisted men of non motorized Infantry and Mountain Infantry units. While the award criteria varied the main qualification was to have participated in three separate Infantry assaults. This badge is made of zinc and retains quite a bit of the original silver wash. It is comprised of an oval wreath with a Nazi eagle at the top clutching a canted swastika in it's talons. A slanted K98 rifle with fixed bayonet and sling is super imposed on the wreathwith the muzzle at the top left and the butt on the bottom right. The back of the badge is solid and has a round pin that rotates on a crimped hinge. A round wire catch is located at the bottom of the badge. Under the hinged part of the pin is a makers mark. The letters JSF are stamped into a small raised square. JSF stands for Josef Feix Sohne, maker of this badge. This will make a fine addition to your WWII German collection.
