A rare Verwundetenabzeichen (Wound Badge) in Black, marked 93 – Richard Simm & Söhne, Gablonz.
 
This is a fine example of the VWA Schwarz, produced by the maker Richard Simm & Söhne, whose pieces are known and respected among collectors. The reverse carries the maker’s code “93”, making it a clearly identifiable and desirable variant.
 
The badge displays crisp details to the helmet, swastika, and crossed swords, as well as the correct hardware setup for this manufacturer. The black finish remains visible, showing honest age and patina that underline its originality.
