Neatly maker- (ie. '118'-) 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: 'August Menze & Sohn'

The attractive - and I deem just moderately used- and/or worn! - (non-magnetic!) black-class wound-badge (ie. wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') has lost only some of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'glossy'- ie. satin-like finish: it just shows moderate wear and/or fair usage. The wound-badge is - as stated above - neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: '118' (as is visible on the back of the pin as can be seen on the pictures) signifying that it deals with a piece that was produced by the desirable (and unusually found!): 'August Menze & Sohn'-company based in the town of Wien (ie. Vienna). Of course, are the (regular-sized- 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 but retains most of its 'glossy'- ie. satin-like finish!
