Neatly maker- (ie. '81'-) 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: 'Overhoff & Cie.'

The very attractive - and I deem hardly used- nor worn! - black-class wound-badge (ie. wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') truly retains most of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'shiny'-like finish: it only shows just minimally wear and was simply nicely preserved over the years. The wound-badge is - as stated above - neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: '81' (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 'Overhoff & Cie.'-company as based in the town of Lüdenscheid. Of course, are the (nicely integrated, 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, wear and/or minimal staining as to be expected.
