    Default Verwundetabzeichen Gold or silver?

    Is this a silver badge that has been worn or is it a gold? Thanks for your help. I cannot find any marks on it.

    Pablo...very much a silver wound badge, a silver wash over brass base....it is typical that the high points rub through showing the base metal.....they are seldom marked.
    Prost ! Steve.

    Hi Pablo

    Totally agree with Steve. Here is my silver(ish) badge. I have seen these badges come with a DRGM mark at the base of the catch
