Superb, 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Gold' being a non-maker-marked- and typical 'Buntmetall'-based example that comes stored in its maker- (ie. 'Hauptmünzamt Wien'-) marked- & period-etui as recently found

The truly attractive golden-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Gold') is executed in neat and/or fairly shiny, so-called: 'Buntmetall' and shows only moderate usage and/or minimal wear (as can be clearly seen on the pictures). The wound-badge comes naturally mounted onto its fully functional and typically (thin- ie. round-) shaped pin and has a totally unaltered (and functional) catch. The badge is most certainly never cleaned and retains most of its (bright) golden-toned finish (ie. it is neatly so-called: 'Feuervergoldet'). It only shows some minimal tarnish (and has never been cleaned nor polished). It is - as stated above - not showing any makers'-designation (something that is more often seen with these quality-produced pieces: in all respects it is, however, a piece that was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Hauptmünzamt' as was based in the Austrian town of Wien (Vienna). The black-coloured- (simulated leather-based- and/or: partly wooden-based) etui - comes also in an overall very nice, albeit minimally used, condition (it is just somewhat dusty ie. dirty simply caused by years of storage but totally void of any damage or alike). The etui has a white- (ie. creme-) coloured (simulated 'velvet') interior: this inlay shows a clear imprint of the wound-badge (that was most certainly stored in this manner for decades) as can be seen on the pictures. Of additional interest is, moreover, the fact that this etui shows a bluish-coloured, paper-based 'Hauptmünzamt Wien'-etiket glued on its back. Simply a very attractive and with certainty desirable, golden-class WB-set that is nowadays not that easy to encounter!
