Original German Luftwaffe combat decoration, the Ground Assault Badge (Erdkampfabzeichen), instituted in 1942 for ground personnel participating in land-based combat actions.
The reverse side displays a clear, embossed manufacturer's mark: G.H. OSANG DRESDEN, ensuring the item's historical authenticity.
Struck from zinc (Kriegmetall), featuring the signature Osang attachment system: a robust hinge and a vertical pin secured by a soldered catch.
The design (visible as a negative on the reverse) depicts a lightning bolt striking the ground from a cloud, framed by an oak leaf wreath with the Luftwaffe eagle at the top.
The metal surface retains a natural patina and traces of its original silver wash, typical for mid-to-late war combat awards.
The Ground Assault Badge is highly sought after by collectors for its striking aesthetics and its relative scarcity compared to standard infantry assault badges.
