Up for sale is an original WWII German Infantry Assault Badge (Infanterie Sturmabzeichen), silver grade, featuring hollow-back construction.
The badge displays the classic Karabiner 98 rifle over an oak leaf wreath, surmounted by the Wehrmacht eagle. This example is a hollow-back variant, an earlier and more desirable manufacturing style compared to later solid zinc examples. The badge shows honest age and wear, with the original silver finish largely worn, resulting in a natural toned appearance consistent with wartime service. Despite this, the details remain well defined. The reverse retains its original pin, hinge, and catch assembly, all intact and functional. The hardware shows correct period construction with natural patina and no signs of repair. An authentic, unmarked example of the Infantry Assault Badge, ideal for collectors seeking a solid wartime piece with desirable hollow-back construction.
