Maker- (ie. 'E.S.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: 'E.S.P.' (= 'E. Schmidthäußler - Pforzheim')

The attractive - and I deem just moderately used- and/or worn - black-class wound-badge (ie. 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') truly retains almost all of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'matted'- (ie. satn-like-) finish: it only shows minimal wear and was simply nicely preserved over the years. The (non-magnetic!) wound-badge is - as stated above - neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation that reads: 'E.S.P.' which stands for: 'E. Schmidthäußler - Pforzheim' (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 company 'E.S.P.'. 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 obvious dust and/or minimal staining as to be expected.
