Superb - and hardly ie. never used - neatly maker- (ie. '118'-) marked example of a black-class wound-badge (or: 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz') being an example that was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'August Menze & Sohn'
The truly very attractive black-class - and typical magnetic - 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz' hardly shows any wear nor aging and retains truly almost all of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'matted'- ie. satin-like finish: it was simply very nicely preserved over the years. The wound-badge is as stated neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: '118' (as is clearly visible on the back of the pin as can be seen on the pictures) signifying that it deals with a piece that was produced by the desirable, Austrian maker: 'August Menze & Sohn' as was based in the town of Wien (ie. Vienna). Of course, are the (regular- ie. thin-shaped- and also magnetic) pin and/or: (typical) catch (-set-up) fully functional and of course present. This piece has never been cleaned nor polished: it shows some minimal dust and/or minimal staining as to be expected. Simply a very attractive - and desirable! - clearly maker-marked 'Verwundeten-Abzeichen in Schwarz' that is accordingly priced!
