A Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber mit Etui by 4 - Steinhauer & Luck of Ludenscheld. The silver wound badge was awarded to those who were wounded three or four times by hostile action (including air raids), or frostbitten in the line of duty. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been silver washed. The oval shaped obverse depicts an embossed profile of a mobile swastika, above an M35 pattern helmet, which is above two crossed broad swords. This then 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 full back reverse has a cast hinge and catch with a nickel-silver round wire pin PKZ maker marked: “4”. All of the components non-magnetic and in well-working condition. There is some loss of finish as the zinc has absorbed some of it. The badge measures 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide. The award comes housed in an original burgundy case. The case is constructed out of pressed cardboard, with a simulated, grained, leatherette covering. The bottom interior of the case is a pressed cardboard base with a maroon spray on fibrous felt overlay that has a central hole which outlines the pin hinge and catch. The exterior shows typical age wear. There is a Hauptmunzamt sticker on the bottom reverse NOT matching the badge, you can remove it if you wish. The case measures 2 1/2 inches long and wide by 3/4 of an inch tall. A unique assembly.
