Hi guys thanks for your welcome,I recently purchased a panzer assault badge from a local dealer ,as I’m new to collecting I rushed in with excitement .Having now researched the item I think I may have bought a fake,my main concern is the rudimentary clasp ,although it has the FW Assmann and sohn stamp in the correct place I have yet to come across this tapered square pin any where.would welcome expert feedback.
