Unusual 57er Wound badge................
Gents, my latest wound badge, silver grade, early production 1957-1960 by St u L, nothing special to look at until you turn it over.............and a horizontal pin/hinge assembly and catch is revealed ! an unusual and I think not that common a combination..........why ? was it for a KM man ? as some KM wartime badges featured this set up......answers on a post card Gents, mean while enjoy ! if this was done on a St u L was it ever done on Deumers and Souval's ?
Prost !Steve.
Interesting. Never seen this before either.

Something different Steve..I haven't seen this either..but still interesting never the less.. Cheers Terry.
Hi Steve,
The small block hinge and pin is certainly very similar to both S&L marine badges like the zinc u-boat late war badge and also is a type seen on various Deumer badges too. The catch could make one think possibly Souval as well, but looking closely at the top of the pin near the bend for the hinge, is that the notorious S&L 57 'scrape' that can just be seen?
Here's a few examples.
Regards, Ned.
