Superb, just moderately used and neatly maker- (ie. '100'-) 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: 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange...

The black-class WB does show only minimal wear and/or aging but truly retains most of its original, black-coloured- and/or somewhat 'matted' finish: it shows moderate wear and was simply nicely preserved over the years. The wound-badge is as stated neatly maker-marked with the makers'-designation: '100' (as is clearly visible on the back of sword-area as can be seen on the pictures) signifying that it deals with a piece that was produced by the maker (ie. 'Hersteller') named: 'Rudolf Wächtler & Lange' as was based in the town of Mittwaida in Sachsen. 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.
