Early-pattern black-class wound-badge (ie.: 'Verwundeten Abzeichen in Schwarz') being a detailed so-called: 'Spanish Civil-War'-version of the (scarcely encountered!) 'Durchbrochener'-pattern
This is an attractive - and I deem just 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 of the 'Durchbrochener'-type that comes in an overall nice- (and I deem just moderately used ie. worn-), condition. The (magnetic!) wound-badge - which is an unmarked version that shows a pronounced swastika as more often encountered - just shows moderate wear ie. age and retains, however, a neat and just somewhat 'tarnished' age-patina: moreover, does it retain a fair bit of its somewhat 'shiny' black-painted finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge - which comes naturally mounted onto its functional, regular-sized- (and non-magnetic- ie. silver-toned) pin and that has an undamaged (just somewhat bent) 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 of the 'Durchbrochener'-pattern that is - I deem - priced according to its fully untouched and just moderately worn condition!
