Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze
Looks ok for me but i'm no expert in these this one has changed to be repaired.

Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze
Looks o.k. to me, but as Kev says repaired, the catch is a definite replacement, also I think the pin. The hinge has been refitted as well, but could possibly be the original one and been re-used as it is the correct type, although it's not an uncommon one to find either, so it's debatable(but doesn't really matter
).
Regards, Ned.

Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze
Just been looking around and I have to reconsider my opinion on this badge. Apparently late on in the war FLL started to use various different rear set ups on their badges. Instead of the rectangular catch that was recessed they also used the type above with the footplate. The fitting of these (and in some cases the hinge) was notoriously sloppy! Also, the pin type as seen above WAS used.
Therefore, I think the badge is as it left the factory, and totally original. Take a look at the examples below for an idea of what I mean, and apologies for the initial wrong assesment!
Rearwards, Ned.

Re: Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze
Only as a complement I read that this maker had 5 variations of this badge and this one would be the 1.5.4 (Solid Zinc FLL 43 Marked).

Yeah. It's the commonest type they made. The solid buntmetal 'Massif' in silver is the rarest one by Friedrich Linden.
