Silver Wound badge by L/57
A private purchased LDO marked Verwundetenabzeichen in silber by L/57, Boerger & Co. of Berlin. 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-alloy 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 again above two crossed broad swords. This all 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 full back reverse has a soldered on tombak flat wire catch, hinge and round wire catch. All of the components are in well-working condition. It is also maker marked "L/57". The silver wash has been absorbed by the zinc. The badge measures approximately 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide.
