Re: Verwundetenabzeichen Im schwartz
Hello Mark,
I don't mean to be the bearer of bad news, but the second wound badge in the lower pictures is a reproduction. Notice the missing rivet on the rear of the helmet, huge red flag. The other badge looks good to me, not sure on the maker marks.
Regards

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen Im schwartz
Thanks for replying so quickly. Not such bad news as it cost very little. Just took a chance as the detail was so good.
Regards, Mark.

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen Im schwartz
Hello Mark
I totally agree with Desert Fox about the second badge being no good. These no rear rivet badges seem
to be popping up quite regularly on various dealer websites. I am sure there is a thread about them.

Guys, just because there is no rear rivet doesnt mean they are fake

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen Im schwartz
Hello Nick
You may well be correct , but the fact that there is an important part of the helmet design missing is
one huge red flag to me. If this is one makers variation I could probably wear it but these things
are all over the place with varying hardware configurations.

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen Im schwartz
Hello tempelhof
The lack of a rear rivet is a hallmark of badges that have been proven fake. Within about 5 minutes of
searching this forum I found 2 threads that basically confirmed this. The badge shown has the so-called
"dog bone" bow found on these fakes & other traits such as the shallow rim & high hinge. I cannot
comment on your gold example besides saying I wouldn't want it in my collection. That said, I would not
want any badge lacking a rivet in my collection, for If genuine examples exist I would not like the lingering
doubt as far as authenticity.
Regards
Brett

I Agree with you nick, guys think of it this way.
Would a round 3 EK mean it fake? Just because it not have the traditional 3.
Look at this why are people giving ok's to this badge?
