A Verwundetenabzeichen in Silber (2. Form) by 100 - Rudolf Wächtler & Lange of Mittweida.

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 fullback reverse is maker marked: “100” beside the catch. It also features a crimped-on catch, stamped hinge and a steel round wire pin. Beautiful finish remains. It measures 1 3/4 inches high by 1 1/2 inches wide.
