Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (unusual case)
I dont see a problem. From my understanding red cases were for Silber Werwundetabzeichen

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (unusual case)
Those red cases are cardboard without a catch. This case is not one of these. I guess I am asking if anyone has ever seen this sort of case. If so, I would like to see a picture of it.
I've seen many, many SWB cases but never one like this.
Just trying to see if someone here can tell me something about the origin of this type of case.

Maybe it's post war? It definitely is exactly identical to a GWB case or EK1 case in every detail. It's just red.

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (unusual case)
I have doubts on this red case. The silvers came in a maroon color case-not a bright red. And they generally didn't have push buttons. The Golds and other awards that came in cases of this shape usually had a round rod type of push button-not this wide flat style. And the metal in the latch on this case looks extremely bright and new-certainly not 70 years of age toning. If you look through the other pin back award cases such as the KVK's and the EK Spanges, etc., nothing resembles this case. My opinion is, from what I can see,the badge looks decent enough, but I think someone dressed it up post war with a case that wasn't period. It's been in there a good while now and it fits, so it may as well stay in it!

Hi tempers,
I've seen one like it, maybe even is it!! The badge is also a 65 K&Q in Silver, case is identical. The replies below echo my same thoughts, especially the PP angle.

Yes! That's this very case. I bought the set off this guy more for the case than the badge.
It's just that I've never seen anything like it, so I acquired it with the idea that I research it. Or wait until I bump into another.

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (unusual case)
i am tempted to rip up the insert on this case, but i think i will give it a little time while i resort to anything else i can think of. maybe if i haven't figured this out in a year or two i'll tear it up. ha.

Wagriff, if I pull this case apart and underneath it says, "Made in Japan, 1970", I'm gonna PM you.
It'll be like Geraldo Rivera and Al Capone's vault.
