'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: bronze-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'AS'-) marked- and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen, as was procuced by the: 'Adolf Scholze'- (ie. 'A.S.'-) company

This is an attractive, so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: bronze-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a clearly maker- (ie. 'AS'-) marked- and/or zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen as was procuced by the: 'Adolf Scholze'- (ie. 'A.S.'-) company and that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem only moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge on offer here concerns an (I deem mid-war-period-) zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based specimen that retains most of its (bright-coloured) bronze-coloured finish and that has a very attractive appearance, still showing great pronounced detail as to be expected by a badge by this particular maker. The badge has (I deem) never been cleaned nor polished (and is still also a tiny bit dirty ie. stained- ie. tarnished as mentioned above). As stated is the piece a neatly maker-marked example that shows the various characteristics - such as for example the typically ball-shaped pin-set-up, bronze-coloured- and somewhat 'flattened' pin and/or nicely modelled catch - as only seen on PABs as produced by the: 'Adolf Scholze'-company based in the town of Gablonz: it deals with a so-called: 'solid zinc pattern' (as is uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '3.1.4.' according to the excellent reference-work entitled: 'The Panzer-Assault badge of WWII' by my Belgian friend Philippe de Bock). The very attractive piece naturally shows all the details as to be expected for a badge by this particular maker. It was recently found as such at a German flea-market and was never before part of a collection. It was simply never cleaned nor polished. Simply a very attractive and honest bronze-class PAB by the 'Adolf Scholze'-company that is with certainty accordingly priced!
