No Mate, thats a known pattern and authentic. Assmann and a few others used this design:
Verwundetenabzeichen 1939 in Schwarz, Chaotic Dot or Assmann Design.
The thread starter badge is fake.

Thank you kindly, Brett - I gladly stand corrected!
I have read through the forums - Just to clarify- is it the wavy pattern between the swords that gives it away? Thank you again. I just want to give the right information back to the dealer when I am to ask for a refund
I hold my hands up Brett, well spotted. It fooled me. Well spotted.

Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Thank you very much for all your insight Brett - Unfortunately I couldn't access the awards forum, and It won't let me create an account to view what you shared! I have analysed the examples from the other links you have shared though and I greatly appreciate you informing on this.
Perhaps somebody more computer savvy than myself could post the WAF photo from the link showing the highlighted faults?

Brett

wow! these fakes are getting tougher to fool a person. I compared it side by side with my photos and you are 100% correct Brett! I can't thank-you enough for spotting this out for me, also thank you again Adrian for sharing this from the Wehrmacht awards forum. You are both great gents and I appreciate your time to help me as a new collector. Massive lesson here for me
