Description:
This is an authentic World War II German Wound Badge in Gold, produced by Hauptmünzamt Wien (Vienna Mint), one of the most respected official manufacturers of Third Reich decorations. Awarded to soldiers who sustained five or more wounds, or to those severely injured or permanently disabled in combat, the Gold grade represents the highest and most prestigious level of the Wound Badge.
The badge is constructed of solid base metal and retains a strong, well-preserved gold finish with excellent overall eye appeal.
