Hello everyone! I was hoping you could help me out again? I have an unmarked JFS Grade II Silver Panzer Assault Badge here that I am questioning.
Some of the things that I like are; the overall obverse, the 25 looks correct and the cut-outs around the eagle’s talons look good.
Some things that I am not too sure are; the eagles talons show damaging (I thought was mostly common on Bronze examples?), there is no oval base around the pin (though I don’t believe this is necessary?).
Some things that I don’t like are; the pins fold is broken/not there, there are no stress marks on either the catch or hinge and the hinge appears to have been filed on edges.
If could you let me know what you think I would greatly appreciate it!
