Well-detailed die-struck badge featuring an oval oak leaf wreath surmounted by a Luftwaffe eagle clutching a swastika over a cloud motif, with a downward-pointing lightning bolt at center. The reverse bears a faint maker’s mark reading “C.E. JUNCKER BERLIN SW,” indicating production by the noted Berlin firm. Constructed in zinc with remnants of a two-tone finish, the wreath retains traces of silvering while the central lightning bolt shows darker contrasting treatment. Instituted in 1942, the Ground Assault Badge was awarded to Luftwaffe personnel who participated in three separate ground combat actions in support roles such as flak crews and field divisions.

Good, with noticeable wear to the original finish and areas of oxidation consistent with zinc construction. The reverse shows surface corrosion and age-related discoloration, with the maker’s mark faint but still partially legible. Overall solid example with expected period wear.
