On 1 June, 1940 a bronze version of the Panzer Assault badge was introduced for presentation to Panzer Grenadier, medical and armored car personnel having participated in three different assaults on three different days. Later badges had numerals of 25, 50, 75 and 100 to recognize personnel who had participated in that many assaults. These were later war badges. This Silver Panzer Assault badge has great eye appeal.
