Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Silber marked 92

It's unfinished...

Sadface.

Hello Noobkilla
Maker mark 92 is for Josef Ruckert & Sohn. I have never seen one by this maker with an integral hinge & catch.
Every one of these that I have seen have a soldered on block hinge & catch. There seems to be quite a bit of
pitting to the reverse which is a red flag. My guess is fake as the hardware varies too much from from an
original.

Regards
Brett

GOT THEM, can you show where the pin would secure through the bottom, if theres no hook or catch i would say its an unfinished fake

That means it's fake? Just..unfinished? I lied to myself saying that the factory was bombed.

That's alright. Good thing I didn't pay too much for it.

Oh, one last question. Were Wound Badges ever made of lead?

[Brett]

No!

[Noobkilla73]

Alrighty then.

No Ralph it doesnt, but you can only give someone the benefit of doubt once, and you try to help people and its thrown back in your face, what can you say ? !!!!

Dave, my suspicions were aroused when I saw that almost all of the latest posts section were by this one person.
Also, when I read that this new member wanted to be Ade's successor in the future.
