Jim P Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I have noticed a lot of knowledgable wound badge collectors here and wanted to get an opinion on this black wound badge.I have taken pictures as detailed as I can get them trying to show the hinge,clasp,(pin is missing)and what is left of the makers mark.It is just under the swaz and all I can tell is the last number is a 7,there is a number in front of it and would almost have to be a 2,3,8,9,or zero. Any help is much appreciated,Jim P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim P Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) If you are a member at MCF you may have.There was some discussion over possibly being a 107,but didn't know if they made hollow backs.After seeing the 107 hollow back here,I'm sure its not a 107.

don Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Not a 107.Check the wound badge list and see makers that end in seven. Will look around. don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronny Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hi Jim,Interesting WB you got there. Just to make things more confusing, are youSure on the 7? Is it possible that it is a 3 (old style)?Maybe it is a 93, they have some different pin setups.My 93?s have the new style of 3 (round).. And ball hinge. I have not seen that kind of hinge you got on you?re Badge before on type 2 1939 WB, only on EKI 1939,Interesting.I have two different makers ending on a 7, (black wb) 107 and 67And I have L57 (no /) in my files. I will do some more research and see what I can find.Any chance for more detail pictures front and back.Best Regards, Ronny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 I guess it is possible that it is an old style"3" as I can only see the top half of it.I will get it out and have another look with the magnifying glass.Regards,Jim P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim P Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 After looking closer,the last digit is definately a 7.Still can't see the 1st digit any better.I do appreciate all the help.Thanks Don and Ronny.Jim P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
