Andreas1966 you're after wound badges i see!!! I love them too but i have only one yet!!!! This is very nice too, like the gold you got!!
(are you from Greece btw?)
just today recieved this hollow one ....its verry nice to see
and btw no im sorry im from the Netherlands...
but im collecting only the woundbadge i have almost 100 vwa !!!
very nice! i also collect woundbadges... not near 100 like you more like 10.
one double marked and 2 silver... maybe gold in future
I hate to say it, but I really don't like this one.
Can anyone think of the last time they saw a genuine 2nd pattern wound badge made in the hohl verbödet (hollow inside) style? Not me that's for sure, but I have seen a fake one that is so similar that it even has the Floch 'Chaos Pattern' obverse where the lines of dots are irregular and the overall appearance of the badge is soft that the above badge also exhibits.
I personally believe this is a clever and well produced fantasy badge that a lot of effort was spent on producing. Take a look at the Floch one below that is also of the same pattern and 'hollow inside'. The pin and hinge are different, but the catch is identical.
I would try and get my money back if I were you.
Regards, Ned.
P.S. The case and stick pin appear O.K. though.

I agree with Ned, the irregular dot-pattern raises red flags instantly...compare with mine...
cheers, Glenn
Sorry Andreas
I have to agree with Ned on this one. Here is a link regarding these
Hohl Verbodet badges. The hardware is different but the obverse is
exactly the same with the wonky dots
