Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Schwarz, original?
Thanks for looking, and if possible providing an opinion.
I'm looking at this wound badge, and my concern is that the pin catch is so low on this, and the pin seems to extend past or very close to the bottom of the badge.
I've been looking at examples posted here on the forum, and haven't found one that looks like this, but I know there were a number of makers each with their own methods. Is this catch position and pin found on any of those makers?
Thanks again,
Scott

I think you're right to be suspicious Scott. Although the pic's are poor i'm pretty certain this is the earliest version of the notorious 'Low Rim Fake'. Later versions have a variety of different rear set ups, but here's one like yours. Note the very shallow depth of the rim of the badge and the details of the leaves, berries, bow, sword hilts and the angle of stippling below the helmet skirt, all are identical. Not one for me.
Regards, Ned.

Odd badge...Do you have a straight-on photo of the front so we can see the dot-pattern under the helmet? Looks like a stamped-steel badge, possibly with a replaced round catch...I would just like to be sure it isn't the so-called "Chaos-Pattern" Fake with replaced hardware...
cheers, Glenn

Sorry Glenn, these are the photos they had posted. It's on the WAF, and the seller is selling a grouping of badges. I had to crop these images out.
That said, I think Ned has posted plenty of ammo for my concerns, and with these so abundant and inexpensive, I'm going to just move on from this one. You guys are awesome!
Edit: Thanks for those wavy line pictures, I see that now! Excellent. I'm now armed with two wound badge fake details to watch out for! Thanks guys.

The funny thing about it is that you're the one who taught me about that particular fake, Ned! 
cheers, Glenn
