Hi,
I have acquired a black would badge marked ”K” which is an unknown maker for me.
Does anyone know who the maker might be?
Thanks

Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Schwarz - "K" marked

Hi Jonas,
The strike of the stamp is a bit light and consequently it appears to be just a 'K' when in fact it should read 'FK' for Fritz Kohm . This badge is one of 3 variant maker marked examples and is known as the "Type 2" with the MM on the helmet skirt. The "Type 3" is MM'd 'FK' in the swastika and the "Type 1" is MM'd 129, also within the swastika.
Regards, Ned.

Thanks Nedby big ned
I will examine the badge more if I can find out the "F".

No "F" could be found but this arrived in the mail today
Had totally forgotten about this one.

Another "Light Strike" example of the same, which isn't uncommon, but you get the idea.
