stewy Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Nice examples Don. Can anyone tell me what the most common type were? Hollow back or Full? With silvers full. But as more BWB's were awarded,in general hollows. Stewy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gildwiller1918 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Nice badges! Here is a silver version I have, marked "L 22" for Glaser & Sohn, Dresden-A. Borngasse 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 That is a nice one, looks like zink with a lot of the silver finish remaining, getting harder to find in that sort of condition. Here are the two, solid-backed, which I have, the first one is marked 30 for Münze/Wien, this is tombak with a good silver finish, with wear to high points. The other is 107 by Carl Wild, Hamburg, zink and has lost most of it's silver finish and darkened. The black one is hollow, unmarked of brass or tombak with most of it's original finish. My first one was a nice zink example with most of the silver finish remaining, it had a really nice appearance, which is hard to find nowadays, maker was 65 (Klein & Quenzer). Unfortunately, parted with that years ago. Wound badges were very much taken for granted in the past by many collectors, they have now increased in popularity and price, as many other items are becoming less available and unaffordable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Very nice! It is getting hard to find any wound badge in decent shape nowadays. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Zink is a very unpredictable material, it can oxidise for apparently no reason. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The black ones used to be plentiful, now they are getting hard to get, and in good shape also. The silver infantry assault badge is very common here, and the finish is usually not good on those anymore also. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Here is a wound badge no-one is going to find in a hurry. Does anyone recognise this? One clue or hint is "Guy Fawkes" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I believe this is the wound badge given to the survivors of the plot to kill Hitler...if so, original ones would be extremely rare and expensive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Quite right, there was only a handfull awarded. They have turned up occasionally at renowned auctioneers, etc. I believe the firm Juncker produced them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I don't even want to guess what they went for at auction! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I don't think I remember seeing the end price, that was a few years back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildwiller1918 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Whew, I can only imagine what it went for, bet you could retire off that! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
