Description
Wound Badge in Gold (Verwundeten Abzeichen in Gold). 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 'Zink' type badge is nicely maker marked with number '26' indicating production by the company of 'B.H. Mayer' from Pforzheim. Of course are the pin and catch fully functional. The badge still retains most of its original gold finish. Nice example in very good condition!
