Wound Badge
Hey guys,
Well today i am stumped. Ive been collecting German medals for years now and this one has had me wondering for a while. A couple years back i was given 2 wound badges and honestly i have no idea if its Silver or Black. They both look the same to me and i am just confused. If some one could give me some info on how to identify the specific wound badge that would be fantastic and if needed i will upload some photos of it. Thanks guys and look forward to your replies.

Re: Wound Badge
If the wound badge that is questionable (because its so dark) would it be possible or for that matter a good idea to clean it up? If so what would you use? I dont want to degrade the value or for that matter the medal.

Re: Wound Badge
Hello Riley
The badge that you are concerned about has absorbed all of its original finish & is down to the zinc base metal.
Any attempt to clean it will be counter-productive, so just leave it as it is.

Re: Wound Badge
As Brett said, do not polish it, or any medal it just strips the original finish.

Re: Wound Badge
It is all too common on the forum of late, that a question by a new member is answered in good faith,
(in this instance the answers are basic knowledge that someone "collecting for years" should already know!)
& once the required answers are received there is absolutely no thank you or gratitude shown in any form.

Sorry for venting a bit of spleen, but this really peeves me.

Re: Wound Badge
I do agree with the statement Brett but jumping on someone with little knowledge of the forum could be as harsh, maybe one reminder before a lecture.
