Available in NEW or AGED condition - see pictures.
The 11th Panzer Division was formed on 1 August 1940 from the 11th Schützen-Brigade and the Panzer Regiment 15 removed from the 5th Panzer Division and elements of the 231st Infantry Division, 311th Infantry Division and 209th Infantry Division.
The German High Command considered the 11th one of their most reliable units. General Paton and his staff considered the Division and its Grenadiers one of the finest and dangerous advisories it faced.
Scholars, Historians and the Reenacting Community continue to rehash the exploits of the SS and overlook those units, like the 11th Pz Div , that bore the brunt of the fighting on the Russian and Western fronts.
The French also referred to Rommels' 7th Panzer division as the 'Ghost Division' since it seemed to be everywhere, but only the the 11th panzer Division used the 'ghost' symbol.
This is the S.R.110 Schützenregiment unit badge and would have been worn on the side of the cap or on the uniform pocket or lapel.
It is approximately 25mm in diameter and is available in aged or new condition. The last picture compares the new and aged badges.
