Superb - and scarcely encountered! - example of a: 'Panzerkampf-Abzeichen in Bronze' being a non-vaulted, typical 'solid-back', maker- (ie. 'FLL 43'-) marked- (and/or: zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example by the: 'Friedrich Linden'-company
This is an attractive - and actually fairly scarcely encountered! - example of a so-called: 'Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze' (or: bronze-class panzer-assault badge or PAB) being a non-vaulted, typical 'solid-back' and clearly maker- (ie. 'FLL 43'-) marked- (and/or: bronze-toned, zinc- ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example as was procuced by the: 'Friedrich Linden'- (ie. 'F.L.L.'-) company and that comes in a wonderful- (ie. I deem just minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The war-badge on offer here concerns a (later-war-period) zinc-based specimen that has truly retains most (ie. all) of its typical golden-bronze-coloured finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge has not been cleaned nor polished (and is just a tiny bit tarnished as mentioned above). As stated above, is the badge a typical maker-marked example that shows various characteristics - such as for example the typical pin and/or soldered catch-set-up - as typically seen with PABs as produced by the: 'Friedrich Linden'- (ie. 'F.L.L.'-) company: it deals with a so-called: 'Solid Zinc “FLL 43” Marked' piece (as uniquely numbered with the reference-number: '1.5.4A' according to the excellent reference-work entitled: 'The Panzer-Assault badge of WWII' by my Belgian friend Philippe de Bock). The neat piece - which is very pronounced and has great pronounced detail - naturally shows all the details as to be expected for a badge by this particular maker. It was found as such at a German private-household and was never before part of a collection. Simply a very attractive and honest bronze-class PAB that comes in an overall very nice and just moderately used- ie. worn condition!
