Field made so called "Stalingrad PAB" in Bronze. Ground dug in 2012 in a former trench belonging to Schützen Regiment 103 in Maksimka near Stalingrad. Like all of these awards, with the exception of one making it back home, the original steel set-up rusted away during its decade long stay underground. (Cf. P. De Bock, The German Panzer Assault Badge of WW II, Second Revised Edition, page 763-768).
