Wound Badge in Silver by 65
A Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber by 65 - Klein & Quenzer A.G. of Idar-Oberstein. The Silver Wound Badge was awarded to those who were wounded three or four times by hostile action (including air raids), or frostbitten in the line of duty. It is constructed out of a die struck zinc base that has been silver washed. The oval shaped obverse depicts an embossed profile of a mobile swastika, above an M35 pattern helmet, which is above two crossed broad swords. This then lies on a pebbled field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath which is tied together at the bottom with a bow tie. The reverse is maker marked “65”, and has a cast integral catch and hinge along with a nickel round wire pin. All of the components remain in well-working condition. Most of the finish has been absorbed. It measures 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide. Nice!
