Hi Paul, I am no expert on these, but as far as I have read about these. These models were identical to those used in WWI. This is a black wound Badge awarded to those from the Condor Legion who took part in the Spanish Civil War. Think that black ones as yours were the only ones that were hollow. As for its authenticity, I will not be able to assess that I am afraid. Wait for other colleagues opinions, Best Regards, Juan

Agreed-a nice example. I like how the owner polished the black off of the swastika-it gives it a great look.

Hi Paul,
I think everything has been said it looks a nice crisp wound badge.
It comes in 3 different guises it can be called as you mention the 'Condor Legion' thr 'Type 1' or first type and the '1936 Pattern' wound badge.
To me as there would without provinence be no way you could assume it was ever issued to anybody in the Condor Legion I just call them the type '36
The paint looks immaculate for an 80 year old badge have you done the old acetone (nail varnish remover) test in an obscure area on it?
If you look closely at the helmet on the obverse there appears to be indications that the original paint layer has been overpainted.
All the best
Doug
