    Don't really go much for 3rd Reich stuff any more but decided to add a set of 1939s (mostly thanks to DaveB) to go with my Imperial Wound Badges.

    Cased Tombak Gold (30, needle pin) case with Hauptm?nzamt label

    Cased Zink Gold (unmarked)

    Cased Tombak Silver (30, Wide pin) case with Hauptm?nzamt label

    Cased Zink Silver (65)

    Boxed Black (unmarked, but mint example of the type with ultrafine stippled background)

    Packeted black. (numarked, packet marked for Fritz Kohm Pforzheim)

    Hi Don ..We don't see the L/24 Wound Badges like this that often and ..I didn't know they had 2 different round pin setups, nice variation. Does yours show any traces of Gold finish around the hinge or on the Badge ? I can't tell but, it looks like yours has a Steel pin with some Gold plating/wash still showing. I'm not sure what to make of these now because on mine ...there also seems to be a slight residue of Gold on the back as well as the pin assembly . Is it possible that Zimmermann made a Gold in this lightweight pattern and that's what we both have ?

    into the oval part of the badge.You can see the outline on yours.Anyways on mine the catch fits

    into the oval plate.Nice to see another example of round pin L-24
