Description: Nicely detailed, die struck alloy, partially scooped reverse, badge with a silver washed finish. The badge is in the form of an embossed, vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with a Wehrmacht style eagle with down-swept wings, superimposed to the top center, encompassing the forward profile of a tank. The reverse of the badge has scooped depressions to the tank barrel and body. The reverse has a steel crimped ball hinge inset into a circular recess, the thin steel round vertical pin, and crimped catch are all intact. The reverse is well marked with embossed manufacturer’s initials RK for Rudolf Karneth. Excellent example.
