    Pin and catch look fine, the number 3 looks different to what I am used to seeing on these badges.

    Thanks Nick, the 3 also grabbed my attention.....usually more "gothic looking". The catch and pin match vienna made, compared to other examples I looked at. This one is going pretty cheap so I have a little bit of doubt. Will wait for more posts before purchasing.

    It's a good one, the number style is correct for the zinc badge.Only thing that may be of a slight concern is if the finish is original, as the photo is a bit ambiguous regarding that, but it may well be fine.

    The photo is a tad over exposed which isn't the best for determining if the finish is original.........

    Can you get any other pics in natural light?

    Hello there,

    I don't believe the finish is original on this one though the badge is authentic. It appears that the internal hinge hardware has gold finish on it as well, which should not as I believe assembly came after finish was applied to a Wound badge.
