Hello,

Is this Panzer badge an original, or is it a postwar copy? I only have these photos, not the exact measurements, would still like to hear your opinions/impressions. The badge is beeing considered for use in an exhibition in a museum (not for sale). Any help would be appreciated.

I think it is an original Panzer badge.
Unknown manufacturer and semi-hollow type, hook appears to be repaired later

EndreW, please compare your pictures to an original "Panzerkampfabzeichen in Silber mit Einsatzzahl "50" from the
Helmut Weitze webshop: https://www.weitze.com/militaria/11/Pan ... 14911.html

Weitze is known for originals, but you never know...
Panzerkampfabzeichen with "Einsatzzahl" already rare in the 1970s, nowadays difficult to find from
private hands, if at all...
