Verwundeten Abzeichen in Gold

I recently purchased this set and believe at least the Black and Silver are good but the gold is a little concerning because it doesn't have a Makers Mark and I haven't been able to find another one with the exact same clasp. Does anyone have any insight into this?

I could be wrong but looks like a "30" catch (I assume that's what you mean by clasp

Actually I was referring more to the Hinge. I have seen Clasp's like this one on others but haven't seen the combination Hinge AND Clasp that this one has.

It's not a gold but a black without paint, the gold is full at the back.

Please repost only photos of the badge in question, separately.
Uploading photos and posting multiple items.
It reduces the confusion when discussing more than one medal in a photo.

The reason I posted them together is because I wanted to see if someone could confirm my belief that at minimum the Hollow Black and Silver were good and to provide additional insight into the Gold one. I purchased them together, so I thought it would be OK to have opinions be based on the grouping as a whole. If I still need to re-post, let me know and I'll ask two separate questions.

Please read the thread I linked to, then post the one in question separately.

Agree. my first look was on my cell phone. But in looking on my PC I agree that it is black.

The black is a zinc based Deschler/Wiedmann variant. The silver is a zinc Klein & Quenzer. Start a separate thread for the gold with better photos. From where I'm sitting this badge looks like a tombac based example devoid of any finish whatsoever.

Agree with Brett - but as the tombac-brass one is devoid of finish,
I would expect it is a silver grade. I see no gold on it.

Also, not very promising, is the lack of fine details and the
'moulded' look on the rim of the badge.........
