Attractive, early-pattern, black-class wound-badge (ie.: 'Verwundeten Abzeichen in Schwarz') being a detailed so-called: 'Spanish Civil-War'-version that comes in a clearly ie. moderately used- and/or worn, condition
This is an attractive - albeit moderately used and/or worn - example of a black-class wound-badge (ie. 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') being of the scarcely observed - (ie. early-period- aka 'Spanish Civil-War'- or: 'Legion Condor'-) pattern that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used and/or worn-), condition. The (non-magnetic- and - I deem - 'Buntmetall'-based-) badge - which is an unmarked version as more often encountered - shows obvious wear ie. age and has lost a fair bit of its black-coloured finish: it retains, however, a neat somewhat 'tarnished'- and truly used age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge - which comes naturally mounted onto its functional, long-sized- (non-magnetic, longer-sized) pin and that has an undamaged and/or: functional catch - still retains extraordinary and/or pronounced detail (as can be seen on the pictures). I am of the opinion, that the piece on offer here is a 100% genuine, period-example that was obviously worn: it originates from a private-household in Germany and was never before in collectors'-hands. The piece was never cleaned nor polished and comes as found. In any case an attractive - and most certainly original! - early-pattern, black-class specimen that is - I deem - priced according to its fully untouched albeit moderately worn condition!
