Looks like a good unmarked 30 by Hauptmunzamt, Wien. Case is bang on too. Has it still got the little blue sticker on the back of it?

Almost certainly an unmarked Haupmunzampt -the Cadillac of Wound Badge Makers. The badge looks like it was torn from a tunic, as the catch is twisted, but no matter. It may not have originally came in that particular case, but, again, it is appropriate and proper for the badge so that's fine too. A nice little set and of the best quality! Nice pick up!

Thanks guys. I am glad to hear you all like it! Ned, there is no sticker on the case that I can see. A gold wound badge has been on my radar for some time, and it looks like I did ok for myself. Now for a WW1 gold wound badge, and the early 3rd reich set, and I will have a good start on my wound badges!
