Footnote: Meticulously stored in an archival environment for the past 50 years, this untouched and complete collection of Assmann manufactured insignia is new to the global market. Board mounted, each presented insignia was employed as a quality control sample at the Assmann factory during the war. Each tester board is complete and each individual insignia is numbered as per Assmann manufacturing codes. Comprised of over 150 individual pieces of mint insignia, all branches of the Wehrmacht are represented in this unique special collection.
