Description
Wound Badge in Silver (Verwundeten Abzeichen in Silber). 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 early tombak (Buntmetall) badge is not visible maker marked but can be attributed to production by the 'Hauptmünzamt' from Wien (Vienna). The pin and catch are fully functional. The badge is showing heavy corrosion traces, see photos. Priced accordingly!
