A nice looking and original WWII German General Assault Badge here, but not without it's flaws. This badge is missing it's original pin on the reverse and shows some discoloration from improper storage. Original catch remains, Maker marked "RS" for Rudolf Souval. 
 
The General Assault Badge (German: Allgemeines Sturmabzeichen) was a military decoration awarded during World War II to personnel of the German Army, Waffen-SS and Ordnungspolizei (order police) who supported an infantry attack but were not part of specific infantry units and therefore did not qualify for the Infantry Assault Badge. It was instituted by General Walther von Brauchitsch on 1 June 1940.
