Infantry Assault Badge in Silver – Solid Zinc Construction
A solid zinc example with excellent color retention and the typical pitted surface characteristic of the base material.
This badge is manufactured by Deschler & Sohn and is classified as the so-called “Deschler mutant.”
While it follows the classic Deschler design (similar to Juncker), distinctive features such as the stippled eagle talons and the unique shape of the oak wreath differ from the standard, earning it the collector nickname “mutant.”
The reverse is intact with non-magnetic hardware.
Rare and high-quality piece!
