Verwundetenabzeichen in Silver Confirmation Please

[Rescue190]

This is being offered to me from a contact at the last gun show. To me it is an obvious cast reproduction but would appreciate confirmation on my line of thinking. Comes with a Great Grandpa story and a shipping box. I am till not a believer. Only pics he sent me. All opinions are appreciated. Same guy as the PAB I just posted.

Don't write it off too quickly. I belive the badge to be a good one. Several manufacturers made badges with cast in hinges and catches and I like this one.
I don't know enough about them to be able to identify a maker but hopefully someone else will be able to help out.

Thank you. I will see what he is asking. There is a flag and some misc coins with the group.

I think member Brett would be a good resource to contact.

I agree with Adrian,
in my opinion it looks authentic, the maker could be S&L (Hiscoll Military Antiques | Attractive, silver-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Siber') being a non-maker-marked example that comes stored in its original, carton-based pouch as was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'Steinhauer & Luck').
Since its a zinker i wouldnt pay too much.

I think that Theo has nailed it as far as maker goes. Compare the tooling mark on the pin near the hinge with this example:

Verwundetenabzeichen silber Steinhauer & Luck (4)

I have no problems with this badge.
