1939 Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber

Ralph,

Thank you for your help my friend. This one is a stumper. I have searched most of the 34 pages of examples in our Forum and have seen none with a definitive match of the pin, hinge and catch. I love a good mystery.

It is not an unmarked Börger & Co.

Funny no one can match this badge since it has a very unusual catch.

Jonas,

Thanks again for taking the time and effort in trying to decipher the "DaVinci code" on this one.

Still a mystery...

Thought I'd bring this one back up to the surface.

The reverse hardware looks almost gold to me, at least on my monitor anyway

From what I have found out so far, there are only two makers that used this catch at all on silver wound badges.
Fritz Zimmermann, and Funke & Brunninghaus.
Maybe a direction to search?
Ralph.

To my eye, it's an original badge. My belief is that it's S&L or a manufacturer that has used S&L hardware for whatever reason.

The post war S&L badges used an identical catch:

Gentleman,

Thank you again for your time and insight. Brett, I was unable to open the WAF link at this time. (It's been a while since I've ventured over there. )
