Wound Badge, maker number 127

[Simon's Silva Rerum]

Hi Folks!

What do you think about this Wound Badge? It's Gold Class and rare maker.

These wound badges, marked 127, for Moritz Hausch, were heavily reproduced by Johannes Flock but came with a catch and hinge unlike those found on original examples by Hausch, being separately applied.

Going on your photo's, I see a one piece badge (catch and hinge being formed during the die process) which is correct for original examples by Hausch.

so, unless there are other fakes out there that anyone knows about (please comment if there are) I think that you have an original by this maker.

That's why I maked photo of catch. It is an original. Thank you for professional opinion.
