Price: Sold
Description: 1939 pattern, injection molded zinc-alloy construction, solid backed badge with a silver wash. The badge is in the form of an embossed, vertically oval, laurel leaf wreath encompassing an embossed profile of a M35 pattern helmet with a high relief, canted, swastika to the center, superimposed over crossed swords on a pebbled base field. The plain, solid reverse has an integral, molded, hinge, a thin, round, vertical pin and a soldered catch on a circular base plate inset into a circular recess all intact. The reverse is well marked with the faint, embossed, manufacturer’s numerical code, “100” indicating manufacture by Rudolf Wächtler & Lange of Mittweida i.Sa. A remarkable amount of silvered finish remains.
