Numbered GAB's for Pioniers?

#1

We know numbered GAB's were awarded to crews of Sturmgeschutz's, for example Josef Brandner being the only one to win a 100, and also Rolf Due I believe winning the 75. However as Pionier's qualified for the GAB did they ever received numbered badges, like panzergrenadiers were eligible for numbered PAB's in bronze. You would think they should, however I have never seen any photos or awards documents to suggest that. If anyone has any photos or documents or information on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

If eligible and they survived long enough then they would/should have been awarded... but good luck finding photos or documentation to those very few who may have qualified... (?) Difficult quest!
