J Temple-West Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hi DanteThe pictures are a little small but I can see no problems with the Assmann. A value... if you worked on ?450 you wouldn't be far off.The name is interesting. If memory serves, there was an officer by the name of "Wilhelm Hergert" who held the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves. It's worth asking if the badge comes with any paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stogieman Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Concur with John. Rivets, catch, pin and maker mark seem consistent with known Assman originals I've handled over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIC Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Amazing how this badge has held up condition-wise through the years - an earlier issued badge if you judge by the maker mark ('36-'38 style).ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
