    No such thing as a bronze, mate. It appears to be a worn silver Steinhauer & Luck. Compare the hardware and dot pattern with Ralph's marked example:

    Verwundetenabzeichen (Wound Badge)
    The badge had three classes:
    Black (3rd class, representing Iron), for those wounded once or twice by hostile action (including air raids).
    Silver (2nd class) for being wounded three or four times.
    Gold (1st class, which could be awarded posthumously) for five or more times wounded.
    The "progression" could be waived in the event of loss of a limb or eyesight; when such a severe wound occurred, the silver badge was awarded, Badges were made of pressed steel, brass and zinc..

    An original tombak example, I suggest you check the pin closely for a small "4" stamped into it.
    The catch is the give away for me.
    Here is my marked example to compare.
