Hey guys,

i want to purchase this wound badge in gold. I think it's ok, but still i would like a second opinion!

No maker, but claimed to be a Ferdinand Weidmann Frankfurt.

What do you think?

Regards
Kevin

I am with Militarymania. The color of the front of the badge looks strange; I also do not like the hinge. JME

That's the reason for the seller to call it a Ferdinand W. (#19)

The pin, hinge and catch were used by Wiedmann and Deschler. Bigger pictures of the front would probably help ID the maker.

Kevin, I am not into collecting Wound Badges, but knew that only two makers used the pin setup on your gold badge. I was hoping someone could ID the badge for you with better pictures. Jim
