Attractive, 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Silber' being a non-maker-marked- and typical 'Buntmetall'-based example that comes stored in its maker- (ie. 'Hauptmünzamt Wien'-) marked- & period-etui as recently found

The truly attractive - and fairly luxuriously-styled! - silver-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Silber') is executed in neat and/or fairly shiny, so-called: 'Buntmetall' and shows only moderate usage and/or minimal wear (as can be clearly seen on the pictures). The wound-badge comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional and thin-shaped pin and has a totally unaltered (and functional) catch. The badge is most certainly never cleaned and retains most of its silver-toned finish. It only shows some minimal tarnish (and has never been cleaned nor polished). It is - as stated above - void of a makers'-designation something that is more often seen on these quality-produced pieces: it is, however, in my opinion a piece that was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Hauptmünzamt' as was based in the Austrian town of Wien (Vienna). The bordeaux-red-coloured- (simulated leather-based- and/or: partly wooden-based) etui - comes also in an overall very nice, albeit moderately used, condition (it is just somewhat dusty ie. dirty simply caused by years of storage but totally void of any real damage or alike). The etui has a reddish-coloured (simulated 'velvet') interior: this inlay shows a clear imprint of the wound-badge (that was most certainly stored in this manner for decades as can be seen on the pictures). Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this etui shows a bluish-coloured, paper-based 'Hauptmünzamt Wien'-etiket period-glued on its back. Simply a very attractive and with certainty desirable, silver-class WB-set that is nowadays not that easily encountered!
