The Wound badge is good

Thats a huge relief, it just confuses me that a reputable dealer would sell as post war badge for £95. Any particular reason why, surely they must have knowledge of them?

Yes I agree with Ade, a good badge. Would be good to see it out of the packet though.........

£/$/€ - or they simply just don't know - but I'm just being optimistic on the last point.
All dealers at some time have or will sell a fake item, you just have to decide if they knew it was or not.........
Most decent dealers will do what they can to rectify the situation as it's their reputation at stake and some are genuinely nice people who will go the extra mile to help and make things right.

Dealers are human and can make honest mistakes. Some though are less than honest. But a reputable dealer will always make things right.

Cheers, Ade.

I agree with Ade and Adrian that most dealers are helpful. Recently a local dealer in my home town was selling what he thought was a folding k98 bayonet. I asked advice on this forum as to its identity, and was told that the correct id was a bayonet from a completely different gun. The next time I saw the said dealer I informed him of the correct identity to his presumed k98 bayonet, he was very happy to know which gun it was really off. He also gave me a massive discount off everything that I bought off him that day, for example £60 reduced to £20 just on one item
I hope that you have the same luck with your dealer.
Regards to all, Simon.

Wow thats good news, I'll keep you posted as to how I get on with the dealer. I initially wanted to purchase a NSDAP member badge which had for sale. Would you say £75.00 is a reasonable price for one of these badges? I noticed the rear of one of them was very worn and had no visable markings.

£75 is a bit high, especially as you mentioned that it is worn with no markings

To me, £75 sounds like too much.

Cheers, Ade.
