German WW2 Heer General Assault Badge - Late War Variant “Salty” Example

This original German WWII Heer General Assault Badge is a late-war example exhibiting the correct wartime design and construction, with a well-earned “salty” appearance that reflects authentic field use. The badge displays natural finish wear and patina consistent with prolonged service, giving it strong historical character and undeniable presence.

The General Assault Badge was awarded to non-infantry Heer personnel who participated in multiple frontline assaults, recognizing sustained combat service outside traditional infantry roles. Late-war examples such as this often show more utilitarian finishes and heavier wear due to material shortages and increased production demands during the final years of the war.

Condition

• Honest, heavy age-related wear (“salty” field-used example)
• Strong overall form and recognizable detail
• Lower reverse clasp appears repaired or possibly replaced

Despite the noted repair, this badge retains excellent display appeal and authenticity, making it a compelling and accessible example for collectors seeking a combat-worn piece with genuine history.

Provenance

Acquired from a 30-year private collector of WWII memorabilia based in Texas, adding an additional layer of collector history and credibility.
