WW2 GERMAN SILVER WOUND BADGE
Unmarked Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (silver wound badge). This particular example was constructed from die struck zinc, this is the base metal that was covered by a silver wash. With the passage of time this badge has become patinated and somewhat presents with a worn but original appearance.
The Silver Wound Badge was awarded to those who were wounded three or four times by hostile action, air raids, or frostbite while sustained in the line of duty.
This oval badge has a pin and catch fixing device on reverse. All parts of this item are untouched and authentic and the fixing device is still in good working order.
