Original Imperial German WWI Black Wound Badge-It is constructed out of a die stamped that has been painted black. The oval badge depicts an embossed profile of a M16 pattern helmet, which is above two crossed broad swords. This then all lies on a pebbled field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath which is tied together at the bottom with a bow tie. The pin and hinge are there and in well-working condition. The black paint remains 90% intact with a small rust spot on the side. In excellent condition.
