The Infantry Assault Badge in silver was introduced on December 20th 1939 by Generaloberst Walther von Brauchitsch, for award to Officers and EM/NCOs of non-motorized Infantry and Mountain Infantry units.

The nicely detailed badge features an embossed, vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down-swept wings, superimposed to the top center, encompassing a cut-out rifle with fixed bayonet and sling. Complete with original hinge, pin and catch assembly. The reverse of the badge is marked with the embossed manufacturers initials. Maker ( Hersteller): Josef Feix & Söhne, Gablonz. Silver-plated zinc, massive embossing. Material needle: non-ferrous metal, hook: iron, hinge: non-ferrous metal.
Condition: From the battlefield, with traces of hard wear. As the pictures shown.
