Yep...You should have a couple of stickpins

Anything else? don

A document is also nice for a collection

Back to the Imperials for a minute.I like showing this shot as one can see the different helmet types

One more shot

The back

Good basic badges for a collection Here is one....#30 needle pin.This one is brass with nickle plating

Darrell Where is your GOLD 30 bar pin.Come on Darrell,I know you got a couple of badges that would be great for any collection.Lets try and get some more basic solid stuff PS....Yes I thought the wound badge wwas a unmarked 30

This one is a silver screw back with another silver

Now those that dabble in the Imperial area,a nice cut out is a must

Yes unmarked 30 should be a standard for any collection.100 by Rudolf Wachtler&lang a good one also.A front shot of my 100

Now lets add some pictures

In the last year or so I have noticed more people starting to collect wound badges. I have also noticed beginners showing oddball or the more rare types as first badges they acquired .In this thread I would like to build an example collection that maybe a beginner Might use as a guide. I hope my fellow collectors will add some pictures of badges They might like to see in a beginner?s collection. Lets say the collection would be about 15 items related to the wound badge field. Imperial also could be in the collection. I will start .....Black marked 65 by Klein&Quenzer.A 65 a must for any collection.

One more shot

The back,....Note on the l/14 wound badge.Lots of collectors have been burnt on that one plus the the l/63.There however is a real L/14 wound badge
