Erich, if I remember correctly the title is Kampfgruppe Prentl. I don´t have the book myself, but borrowed it some time ago from a friend.

Here is a picture of the common badge you will find more often. The eagle is NOT a seperate piece like in the one prevesiouly posted.

Sven :

Does this fine example have a makers mark on the back.....whom ?

thank you,

[Sven Kondor]

Erich,
This one is not maker marked. It's late war feinzink Anodised dark gray with the highlights polished.

[Erich]

Sven : Thanks !

would I assume then that this is a late war example..... 1945 ? Though I do know that there were unmarked badges made.

Yes late war badges were made in the war years 1943 thru the end of the war. Some were maker marked some not.
