The Perfect wound badge collection

[don]

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 also.A front shot of my 100

I think someone said this was from maker "30" ?

[Laurence Strong]

OK and...

The one posted came from a grouping for a KM officer, not to say that items have not been substituted, however I believe this one to be original.
