Set of 2 damaged Wound Badges (Verwundeten Abzeichen). With the outbreak of World War 2, on 1 September 1939, Hitler re-instituted a slightly modified version of the wound badge by altering the WWI pattern helmet on the badge to the newly designed M35 style helmet. The badge was awarded to both military and uniformed non-military personnel and later, (March 1943), to civilian personnel who received wounds as a result of enemy actions. The black wound badge is missing its pin. The silver wound badge is having a damaged catch. See photos. Priced accordingly!
