Imperial Silver Naval Wound Badge Fake?

[BMUR82]

Hi All, I've just received another wound badge. This time it is a silver naval wound badge. I'd just like some other opinions about its originality. I find it difficult to judge with Imperial wound badges as, from my limited knowledge, most WW1 wound badges were produced post-war in the Weimar period where the economy was collapsing and therefore the quality of these pieces suffered in terms of metal quality/thickness. It's non-magnetic. Could anbody help please?

Is there any way you can post these the right way up so that members don't have to strain their necks to help you?

All I know about Navy WBs is that fakes are far, far more common that originals.
Good Luck.

Hi Ralph, thanks for the reply. The photos were the right way around on my laptop. But when I uploaded them here, the ended up like that. I don’t know how to rotate them once they’re uploaded here. Do you know how? I’m new to this, so still learning.

I've tried to upload the images again, but I cannot get them the right way around. I've rotated them on the laptop several times. But, when uploaded here, they remain side-ways.

You need to make the adjustment to the orientation in the folder where the pictures are stored before opening the picture.



Here you go;

Thanks Mark. Do you have any idea if this is a genuine Imperial silver wound badge? It is non-magnetic. The detail seems sharp. However, in parts it isn't. I'm not sure if that's standard or down to differences between manufacturers. The pin, hinge and clasp seem okay and the dot pattern seems good. But, I'm no expert on naval wound badges. Thanks.

I have edited your original post to orient the photos correctly without re-sizing them.

I didn't re-size them by any concious action so I don't know how it happened?

Thanks for pointing it out
