This good example appears to be of silver tombak and there is no maker's mark. I say tombak, inasmuch as there is evidence of copper plating under the silver finish. However, it could still be a zinc badge overplated with copper and then finished with silver. The silver finish is original and is in good shape for its age. The qualificatons were: 1) to have taken part in 3 or more infantry assaults; 2) in 3 or more counter attacks, or combinations of 1 and 2; 3) in 3 or more armed reconaissance operations; 4) to have been engaged in hand to hand combat in an assault; 5) to have participated on 3 separate days in the restitution of combat positions. The condition is excellent for its age. |
