Near Mint High-Quality Silver Panzer Assault Badge with A.S. (Scholze or Schwerdt) Mark

This is a stunning, near mint, high-quality World War II Nazi Wehrmacht/SS Silver Grade German Panzer assault badge made by either Adolf Scholze or Adolf Schwerdt (please see "Markings" section below for more details). The badge is a wreathed tank with an eagle and swastika at top.

Circa World War II.

Approximately 2-1/2" in height and 1-5/8" in width.

Plated zinc with brass & metal findings.

Vertical kick pin on round plates with C catch.

A.S. within triangle maker's mark. The reverse is well marked with embossed, stylized, overlapping manufacturer's initials in a triangle: "AS", indicating manufacture by either Adolf Scholze of GrŸnwald or Adolf Schwerdt of Stuttgart. The debate continues.

This is from a WWII Nazi Germany Army badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. CON-JST-20-VCJJX14 LCIEX1/14 SLCEEX9/14

10- (Near Mint): The badge is near mint.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
