Verwundetenabzeichen Gold

Hi

I've attached a gold badge, it's on sale for £100, is this realistic (price and badge!) The seller states that the manufacturer is Glaser and Sohne, Dresden.

Thanks again for your help

Hi Aly,
I'm not well up on these badges and the variations of them but comparing to other original L22s I'm not keen on it as the hinge is wrong and also the catch, apart from the fact this one opens to the left, not the normal right. Based upon this, I would say fake but get a few more opinions from other members.

Thanks Adrian, im not clued up on these awards so any advice is better than none!! Also a £100 is alot to lose on a fake!! thanks again.....Aly & Terry.

I agree, the hardware looks wrong for an L/22

Replaced hinge? There looks to be an outline of a rectangle beneath it...

Could be replaced hardware as the rest of the badge looks ok

Possibly William but all the reverse hardware is wrong IMO........?

I sold this one, so I hope the new owner doesn't mind me using the image for comparison purposes, but this was the L/22 silver badge I had.

Now that one is spot on !

Thank you for posting this one to compare to. At best, the Gold one in the opening post could be original with completely replaced hardware.
