Hi Stafan, thanks, the EH is a favourite of mine. I've never seen an Imperial one. I wonder if anyone has one to post? Cheers, Richard.

Ooooops, I made a mistake. I had an "ES" and an "HT". I no longer have either, but here they are.
First, the ES marked variety in silver.

I know Ronny from GCA & yes you're right Steven. Stewy S
Re: 1939 Black Wound Badge (1939 Verwundetenabzeichen im Schwartz)
Hi Ronny, thanks for the feedback. I find it hard to believe the #2 is a fake. The photos don't show it; but the wear to the badge & pin & rust stains to the back seem very old & honest. What are the indicators that it is a fake? Cheers, Richard.
Re: 1939 Black Wound Badge (1939 Verwundetenabzeichen im Schwartz)
Hi Richard
Here are some pictures of the "New German made fake"
Very low rim, high hinge, the dog bone look bow, no rivet on the back
of the helmet and the straight veins in the leaves are just some wrongs
with this badge.
They can be found with light "new" rust and in mint condition and in fake
Frank & Reif paper bags
They have been around some years now
The same typ of fake are in Don's thread https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/order...badge-10148-2/
Cheers,
Ronny
Re: 1939 Black Wound Badge (1939 Verwundetenabzeichen im Schwartz)
Hi Ronny, thanks for the info. I see what you mean. Mine has all the features you've mentioned except the high hinge. But all the same it's one for the bin I'm afraid!! Cheers, Richard.
