Ferg1 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi Guys, does anyone have a ray-backed two-piece wound badge? I have one in brassed silver ,pin has a tiny ' V ' stamped on it. The only other ray-backed example I have seen is in Niemanns book and that is a screw-back. If any one has an example could they post a picture or two? Many thanks,Ferg1.

Eric Stahlhut Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 here's one that is often attributed to the berlin retailer friedrich sedlatzek, as they can be found with that firm's hallmark, and were available in both 800 silver and plated versions. this unmarked exa mple is magnetic with a copper wash, which was then silver plated. two vent holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Very nice and distinctive reverse on the badge. Regards, Chuck On a complete separate note does anyone know of a good book on WW1 wound badges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The only one I know of was written by William Hamelman in the '90's. It's pretty basic and the photos aren't that great but, it does cover WWI, WWII and the 1957 versions. I'm pretty sure it's out of print and used copies can be hard to find.

Beau, I have seen the book on amazon(?), and the review was poor. I guess it is a small niche collectable area that has not been written.
