Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze

This one arrived into my collection yesterday. It is a Bronze Seven Wheeler Early Third Pattern.
It is missing a fair bit of the finish, but still a nice badge none the less.

I can't believe no-one has commented on this one Ralph! A great badge, true, some finish missing but not enough to detract from it and it retains some good character. Are these identified to a maker?

Thanks Adrian!

I was starting to think I had pi$$ed everybody off,

Some say the manufacturer is Maybauer, but I do not think there is any real proof.

It's an impressive looking badge, and the wear only adds
to it's character. I like it.........

Thanks Steve!
I try to concentrate on silver examples, but when there aren't any that I want, I find myself delving into the bronze ones .

Nothing wrong with bronze badges! I prefer bronze patina compared to silver which can look washed out IMO whereas the bronze awards can develop some really interesting and rich hues.

That is a very nice Panzerkampf Abzeichen you have there. Actually, there is quite a bit of finish on this zinc badge.
