Superb - and very unusually seen! - maker- (ie. 'ES.P'-) marked example of a black-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') being an example that was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Eugen Schmidthaussler'

The attractive - albeit clearly used- and/or worn - (very unusually I deem zinc-based!) black-class wound-badge (ie. wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') has lost a fair bit of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'matted' finish showing a part of its silver-toned underlay. The (of course non-magnetic) wound-badge is - as stated above - neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: 'ES.P' (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 'Eugen Schmidthaussler'-company as was based in the town of Pforzheim. Of course, are the (regular- ie. thin-shaped- and/or also non-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. Simply a nice and desirable 'variant' black-class WB that is not often offered for sale!
