This is an original Panzerkampfabzeichen in Bronze, manufactured by Rudolf Souval of Wien. It is constructed from die-struck zinc with a bronze wash finish, most of which has worn away due to age and use. There is some light corrosion present on one side.
The obverse features a detailed Panzer tank advancing over a grass field, surmounted by a national eagle with closed wings clutching a mobile swastika in its talons. The entire motif is encircled by an oval oak leaf wreath tied with a ribbon at the bottom.
The reverse is correctly maker marked "R.S." for Rudolf Souval. It retains its original hardware, including the soldered sheet metal hinge, round plate with a round wire catch, and a steel round wire pin.
Overall, this is a solid and nicely detailed example of a Bronze Panzer Assault Badge, in very good to excellent condition.
