An original, de-Nazified, silver wound badge by B.H. Mayer.

The price should reflect the de-Nazification.
While I don't own any de-Nazification items and many collectors shy away from them, I actually think that these are just another part of the "history" of the war and post war.
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

Thank you for your expertise rbminis!
Map, the price for this badge is very interesting -less than 20 euro- (and this is why I needed a feedback), and it was also the reason why I decided to buy it (being the first of this kind I buy).by MAP
Maybe denazified items are less "nice" compared to undamaged ones, but those "scars" come straight from history!
Greetings.
Not always, there is no way to know for sure.

It really depends on your collecting focus. Yes this might be a genuine piece of the logical line of history and it might even be that a German soldier who joined the new Bundeswehr might have de-nazified his own badge for wear in his new career (although I feel that a little unlikely) rather than buy a '57 badge.
Undoubtedly, some former german soldiers did de-nazify their badges in order to keep them but who can say if this is such a piece?
The explanation could any of a number of possibilities. In the end you have to decide whether you want an intact original, a '57 badge or in between a disfigured piece. To each his own choice but without provenance to say what the history of this piece is I think 20 Euro might be "pushing the envelope".

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
de-Nazified items could also be caused by the Vet who "liberated" the item. So another line of what I would consider an acceptable "Historical" item.
That said, I do agree that it is near impossible to know who/what/where/ when.
