Erdkampfabzeichen der Luftwaffe - Luftwaffe Ground Assault Badge.

M.U.K. is the manufacturer. Badge looks to be in very good condition and I believe it is an original but I'm far from comfortable on these. Looking for any info, what material made from, approx year ect. All comments are welcome.

Thanks

As I said on WAF, it looks like a nice clean example to me.
I wouldn't mind adding one like this to my collection to go with my RK marked example since they are such a similar construction.

Very nice badge Ralph. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at your badges. Any idea what this one I posted is made of and about when it was produced?

Thanks Tim

My first guess would be a higher quality of zinc, as these can often be found in this condition, not common though.
Maybe mid to late war?
Sebastian, the Moderator on WAF, would have a better understanding of the time line than I would, maybe ask that question there.

Very nice example and nice large photos.

Thanks for the photo comment. I have really been trying to learn to take better photos. I have looked at enough items on here that I understand the pain of poor photos.

Thanks Tim

A very nice badge. To answer some your questions, it is made out of Zinc and most likely produced (as Ralph stated) from around 1943-1945.
