| GERMAN THIRD REICH "Verwundeten Abzeichen Schwarz" Wound Badge in Black |
The "Verwundetenabzeichen" or Wound Badge was instituted on 1 September 1939. Essentially it was
the reissue of a similar badge awarded in WW I. It was issued in 3 classes, these being Black, Silver &
Gold. Suffering 1 or 2 wounds entitled a soldier for the Black Class. Three or four wounds, or loss of a
hand, foot, eye or hearing regardless of number of wounds, entitled a soldier to the Silver Class, and
five wounds or more (or fewer, resulting in total disability, permanent blindness, or "loss of manhood")
qualified a soldier for the Gold Class.
This particular badge is in immaculate original condition!
