Thats the Legion Condor panzerbadge!!! (Panzertruppen-Abzeichen der Legion Condor.)

Oberst von Thoma, commander of all armoured personnel assigned to Legion Condor, instituted a tank battle badge in the autumn of 1936 to be awarded to panzer personnel under his command. The badge was granted official recognition on 10 july 1939. only 415 were issued, but undoubtedly more were manufactured. they were made of silver, silver-plated or white metal.

Good morning, My first post, so I am very new but have heard so much about this award. It looks very cynical (skull/teeth) and from what I have read is very scarce. I do not know either but wish I did. My first question is if anyone knows who the craftsmen were that made the various different types and from what country they were from? example - I have read (somewhere) that there were other makers of this award from other countries other than the germans. Does anyone know this intriguing part of history behind this award?
