Hi Ralph,

Thank you for your reaction. I'll have a look at the new picture feature.

Here is another photo. What do you think of the bottom part? I just thought for a second I saw some disturbance.

That may be Harry but, I am pretty sure L/56 is Funke & Brunninghaus.

Hi Harry,

Ralph is correct regarding the makers mark, it's the LDO number (hence the prefix 'L/') for F&B. On the other hand the PKZ number '56' IS that for Robert Hauschild.

Hello Cndian,
F&BL is a fairly common maker of wound badges but there are a great amount of variations out there.
With the large pebbling that yours has I think it is the transitional piece from when the badge was reverse die marked with 116.
Note how the features of yours is beginning to get a little weak.
The condition is very good.

All the best
Doug

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your reaction. Could you explain what you mean with the large pebbling?

Thnx

[Saladin]

Yes.
On the later L/56 badges the pebble background was of a finer pattern.
Yours has the big pebbles that was used in the first design or obverse by this maker that was normally marked with his 116 maker code.
