Prussia Verwundetenabzeichen gold and silver - copy or original?

[KDVR]

Hello friends

What is your opinion? Original or copy?

Manufacturer?

Thank you very much for your great help :-)

Hello,

the design is the manufactuerer Schickle, but I dont know if they are good or bad.

The repros I've seen have the front lip of the helmet more or less level where the top and bottom of the 3rd and 4th set of leaves meet. The catches on the repros I've seen are different too but there are no doubt variations of copies.

I don't like either of them.

I don't like either of them.

Why not, what are we missing?

[dond]

The details look weak and the finishes are too shiney to me.

Hello Don,

Being shiny doesn’t really worry me as Germans had plenty of opportunities to go and buy themselves a new award if the old one looked a bit tatty on their evening dress but the lack of detail is interesting.

I don’t see the lack of detail but then I’ve been away from Imperial for a good number of years, below are badges that came from people we should be able to trust and I don’t see any difference in the details from those above apart from helmets and pin attachments however, the cut out silver has the flattest sloping ridge to the side of the helmet I’ve ever seen and is possibly cause for concern.
