Wound Badges

Browse German wound badges in black, silver and gold, with photographs of the front, reverse and fastening where available. Each listing records the details of the individual badge, including any readable maker mark, remaining finish and visible wear.When comparing examples, look beyond the award grade. The base metal, die detail, pin, hinge and catch all deserve attention. A worn finish can also make a badge look quite different from a better-preserved example of the same type. Read the condition description alongside the photographs, and ask about any repair or replacement part that is unclear.For help recording stamps and construction details, see our maker-mark research guide. You can also browse the wider military badge collection or enquire about a particular badge.
