Superb - and rarely seen! - example of a silver-class- (and/or early-type!) silver wound-badge (ie.: 'Verwundeten Abzeichen in Silber'), being a very detailed- and/or 'Extra Qualität' so-called: 'Spanish Civil-War'-pattern
This is a truly very attractive - albeit minimally used and/or worn but nevertheless rarely seen - example of a silver-class- (and/or early-period-type!) silver wound-badge (ie.: 'Verwundeten Abzeichen in Silber') being a very detailed- and/or 'Extra Qualität' so-called: 'Spanish Civil-War'- (ie. 'Legion Condor'-) ie. 'hohlverbödetes'-pattern that comes in an overall very nice- (albeit minimally used and/or worn-), condition. The (non-magnetic- and I deem silvered, 'Buntmetall'-based) badge - which is an unmarked version as is more often encountered with this type of WBs - shows some regular wear ie. age but, nevertheless, retains a neat (truly bright) silverish-coloured age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge - which comes naturally mounted onto its functional, long-sized- (also non-magnetic- and I deem silvered, 'Buntmetall'-based) pin and that has an undamaged and/or: functional catch - still retains extraordinary and/or pronounced detail (the swastika is very high- ie. pronounced as to be expected - as can be seen on the pictures). Of interest is, of course, that it deals with a typical 'hollow-pattern'-variant that shows an 'integrated back-plate' (as to be expected). 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 recently cleaned nor polished and comes as found. Simply an attractive and original specimen of the 'Extra Qualität'-pattern that is I deem priced according to its used ie. minimally worn, condition!
