Please note this item is no longer available and you were redirected to our Archives.
A Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz 1939. The Black Wound Badge was awarded to those who were wounded once or twice by hostile action (including air raids), or frostbitten in the line of duty. It is constructed out of a die stamped brass base that has been black painted and lacquered. The oval shaped obverse depicts an embossed profile of a mobile swastika, above an M35 pattern helmet, which is again above two crossed broad swords. This all lies on a pebbled field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath which is tied together at the bottom with a bow tie. The hollow back reverse is unmarked and features the appropriate hinge and catch assembly. I suspect the obverse is repainted It measures 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide. A beautiful example!
