Junker Panzerkampfabzeichen with silver wash, 1,1.2b
Although I have shown this badge in the collections forum I am aware that examples of this badge are rarely shown on this forum. Therefore for future reference I am creating a separate thread to show this fairly rare award especially in this condition with no wear or attempts at cleaning which normally do a very good job at removing the silver wash. Although the photo's fail to show this feature very well all high points and the haken cross are polished.
A very nice example Robin!
I hate to use the word "mint", but this one is very close.
Thanks for posting.

Hi Ralph and thanks for the comment.Like you I try and avoid the word 'mint' as I find in this hobby it is often used to describe an item that is anything but..
I agree, a lovely untouched badge is superb condition, very hard to beat Robin!Some might be interested to know that the polished highlights on these badges was achieved by using a small agate stone to bring out the lustre of Nickel silver base material.
Regards, Ned.

Hi Ned, Thanks for the information, that was something I didn't know.
That is very nice and looks like a great example to judge others by
