For sale is an original Wound Badge in Black (VWA Schwarz), manufactured by Hymmen & Co, L/53.
 
This is a particularly rare variant, featuring:
Iron sheet metal oval hinge
Iron “question mark” style catch
Sharp iron needle
 
These construction details make this version highly sought after, as only limited numbers were produced and surviving examples are seldom encountered today. The badge retains its authentic wartime finish and displays the classic German helmet with swastika design surrounded by crossed swords.
A truly scarce and desirable piece for the advanced collector of combat awards and German WWII decorations.
