Panzer Schützenschnur, Grade 1

[rbminis]

Another example of this award found it's way into my collection.
I find it hard to pass these by when I can't find any PABs to add.

Hi Ralph, I have been on the hunt for a panzer shooting lanyard recently. On doing my research I noticed that most of the badges have a ring around outer edge of the badge that looks like the best I can describe as x's. Then there are badges that have oak leaves around the outer edge. Wondering what your thoughts are on this variation. Is one an early version ? I must say you have a great collection of these badges.

Hello John,
Thank you!
I can only suggest that you have a look at this thread,
My small collection of Schützenschnur
there is some pertinent information posted from Wim Saris's book that might explain the differences in the wreaths.
Here is a lone badge from my collection.

Thank you Ralph for the picture and information. These seem to be rarer then the braided ones. Very nice example
