    The variations of the Imperial German wound badge


    Recommended Posts

    Don,

    Fantastic mini, I have never seen one before.

    Gordon,

    Great pieces, your 800 silver looks to be a dead ringer for mine that is posted above.

    Now I have a question. I have seen a few naval wound badges for sale in past couple of years with the background cut out similar to the cut out armies. I have never seen any until then. Are they real and of the period, altered originals or very good modern fakes? I am here to learn too. Here is the picture of one that I saw for sale a while back. Perhaps these are like the Hansen EK1, until recently I had never seen one but a few rare ones were around in collections. These have been seen with both types of swords.

    dan-

    while i have NEVER seen one of these

    naval cut-outs, i HAVE seen enough of

    the "army" wound badges cut out

    that it would not surprise me.

    it would clearly be a private purchase piece,

    but not beyond the scope of possibility.

    i await more experienced collectors' responses.

    thanks for the pictures, dan.

    Paul,

    D.R.G.M. is not a maker's mark, but the patent stamp for the catch design.

    I posted the following in another thread concerning the DRGM and DRP abbreviations found on many German items:

    Thanks David! I thought that I had some sort of rare maker mark.
