Moderately used- and maker- (ie. '32'-) marked example of a black-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') being an example that was produced by the Austrian-based maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'W. Hobacher'

The black-class WB does show moderate wear and/or aging but retains, nevertheless, a fair bit of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'glossy'- ie. satin-like finish: it was simply nicely preserved over the years. The wound-badge is as stated neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: '32' (as is clearly visible on the back of the badge as can be seen on the pictures) signifying that it deals with a piece that was produced by the desirable, Austrian-based 'W. Hobacher'-company based in the town of Wien (Vienna). Of course, are the (regular- ie. thin-shaped- and magnetic) pin and/or: (typical) catch (-set-up) fully functional and of course present. This piece has never been cleaned nor polished: it shows some minimal dust and/or minimal staining as to be expected. Moreover, does it show some 'residue' on its back: something that was simply caused by the product with which it was period-assembled: it was, however, never cleaned nor polished!
