Maker- (ie. '63'-) 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: 'F.J. Klast & Söhne'

The attractive black-class - and as more often magnetic! - 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz' does show some moderate wear and/or aging but retains, nevertheless, most of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like finish. The neat wound-badge is as stated maker-marked with the superimposed makers'-designation: '63' (as is 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, maker: 'Franz J. Klast & Söhne' as was based in the town of Gablonz a/d N. Of course, are the (regular- ie. thin-shaped- and also magnetic) pin and/or: (typical integrated!) catch (-set-up) fully functional and of course present. This piece has never been cleaned nor polished: it shows some obvious dust and/or minimal staining as to be expected. Simply a very attractive - and desirable! - maker-marked 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz' that is I deem accordingly priced!
