To this end I'm seeking further information from other parties that corroborate Dr. Hamelmans findings; knowing the exact source or Dr. Hamelmans information also helps towards this, also pinpointing the exact maker of Condor WBs would be a massive step forward.Cheers,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shipmate of WW2F, answer me of a Badge in: Wound Badge of Condor LegionJan.Hello Jan,It is purporting to be a German Third Reich "type 1" wound badge (also referred to as "Condor" - although this is not in my eyes strictly an accurate term as these WB's were also issued to those wounded in the second world war). To be sure as to wehether it is authentic - can you post a picture of the rear?Best Regards,Mike Edited June 4, 2008 by Fugpaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rick Research Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Lost track of this this in the enormous pile of a friend's treasures that came to visit and be Epsonized a couple of weeks back. I'd guess this was once a black that has been "cleaned" down to the brass base metal?This is what I guess could be called the Really Big Swastika Type, since it covers most of the Frankenstein lug of the Imperial pattern helmet. Just like the one posted by Don in posts 13 and 14. What is the usual metal most of these of the 3 classes are made out of-- brass, or steel?

Scott Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I know this is an old thread, but would anyone interested in the German 1939 first-pattern/Legion Condor wound badge like to help determine when such wound badges were actually awarded to Germans wounded in Spain? If so, please see/comment in the post below . . . Earliest Award of the 1939 Wound Badge? https://gmic.co.uk/topic/81224-earliest-award-of-the-1939-wound-badge/#comment-721903 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
