WWII German Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe
Description
A Second World War German Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge (Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe). This badge is of one-piece die-struck construction, manufactured from a zinc-based alloy, often referred to as Kriegsmetall. The obverse design features a central motif depicting a Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika, positioned over a stylised storm cloud with a lightning bolt striking downwards. This central assembly is enclosed within an oval wreath consisting of eight oak leaves on each side. The reverse side is flat-backed and features a barrel-style hinge and a C-shaped wire catch. No manufacturer marks or stamps are visible on the item. Traces of the original silver-coloured wash are visible on the eagle and wreath sections, while the lightning bolt displays a darker patination.
