Someone propose me to buy this fantastic condition, chrome-like finish Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber maker marked '26'. But I would like to have some opinions on it. Thank

Produced by B.H.Mayer...I believe this is the first "26" marked Verwundetenabzeichen I've seen and it's quite nice...

Hi General,
It's a solid zinc silver badge by B.H.Mayer that's been heavily polished on the obverse side, possibly by a linisher or polishing disc. The yellowish patination that can be seen could suggest it got a bit hot whilst this was done imo.

Collector's Guild is selling a 26 marked badge in somewhat tarnished condition for $125...However, their prices are often on the higher side...I venture to suggest $100 and see what he says...Good luck.
cheers, Glenn
