Looks nice!
The badge is fine. It's a late 'Thin Maker Mark' type with the development of a die tool '"smile" flaw on the reverse side that became typical of these later production badges. The amount of finish left is not too bad, as these generally had a low quality wash finish that hasn't normally stood the test of time so well.
Regards, Ned.

Hi big ned, your aknowledgement are always welcome!
Greg.
a nice Souval.
Thank you Harry.
One more question: on what are based your ackonwledgement? I know the "THE GERMAN PANZER ASSAULT BADGE OF WWII" from Philippe de Bock, that seems to be a good book.
Do you have anything better?
Greg.
