Re: Wound Badge in Gold
Yeah I agree with Adrian, a black wound badge and a RAD cap badge.

Re: Wound Badge in Gold
I had a feeling it might be a black wound badge which is exactly why I asked! Thanks for the input!
I'm pretty sure everything is good as I just posted an M35 police helmet that everyone has confirmed as ok. These are all vet bring back being offered by a friend of a friend ( father in law was the vet) and it doesn't appear he collected after the war.
I'll have a better idea once I seem them in person today. Thanks for all of your help!

Re: Wound Badge in Gold
The buckle looks ok from the front, will definately need to see reverse.
Heres mine for comparison when you get it in hand

Re: Wound Badge in Gold
Hello there,
A reverse shot would have told you that it is a black badge right off the bat. They did not produce a hollow gold wound badge.

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Gold
I hope you are not paying too much for these items.
The buckle is worn, but nice.
The Wound Badge and R.A.D. cap badge have seen better days. I wouldn't pay any more than
$20 for the Wound Badge, and maybe $10 or so for the R.A.D. Lots of better examples out there.
The US Marksmanship Badge - $10 - but only if it is Sterling marked.

Steve, I see you found my thread with the M35 Police and that is the correct price I paid ($200) for these items and the helmet!
While I'd prefer to collect quality items, and occasionally do, I couldn't pass up on these for the price. Plus the provenance behind the items makes it all that much more interesting to me!
The person I purchased the items from also has her father’s medals and photos of the medals being issued to him in the field. After discussing it with her, she may part ways with them as they have been sitting for years. As a matter of fact, when I was at her house she couldn't even recall where they were.
I told her if she would prefer to keep them (which I suggested), I would be more than happy to put a display together for her so she could hang them in her house.
Either way would be a win win for me!
She also has an original PPK chambered in 7.65 in beautiful condition. 95% bluing; looks almost unused. Unfortunately that piece was not for sale, not that I could afford it!
Apparently there was also a Luger that was brought back, but that went missing
All in all, a very pleasant experience for me and I didn't break the bank!

Re: Verwundetenabzeichen in Gold
Everyone has addressed the buckle, cap pin, and black wound badge. However, I wish to add that the item in the lower left of the photo is a U.S. Army "Expert" rifle qualification badge. It is interesting how often U.S. Army rifle qualification badges turn up mixed with German WW-2 stuff. Cheers to all.
