Hi there Don, My black 30 is made of brass, I have never seen a steel badge mm 30. Actually your and my badge is the only Black 30 badges I seen so fare. Cheers, Ronny. Front view of my black 30.
Hello Paul, Well I have never seen a maker mark one But personally I think the badges are made By Hermann Wernstein L/17 (5). Wernstein badges have the same pin and catch Set up. There are solid wound badges with The same design. All the best. Ronny
Rick impressive translation I have never seen numbered badge either. If I understand correctly it was meant to Replace the 1939-40 badge, and for wounds in the 1941-44 war. I think the book is Written with old Swedish, so it not so easy to understand correctly not even for me. Pete do you have a 1918 or 1939-40 badge? Cheers, Ronny.
Hi Rick and Mike, The badge is 37 mm in diameter, It is made of silver plated brass. And it is actuality not awarded during The war. It is a wound ? invalid badge for war Veterans. There are three types of Finnish wound badges / invalid badges. One for the civil war 1918, one for the winter-war 1939-40 and the 1939-45 badge. That is all I know about the badge, Cheers, Ronny.
