Wound Awards fanatics.

[Chap15]

The so called "Chaplans Woundbadge" is a badge, which was made out of Black Woundbadges by some monks in a monastery to recognize the participation in a pilgrimage after WWI. There was an article about such fantasy items in the BDOS magazine some months ago. Everyone selling this as a "Chaplans Woundbadge" is a fraud!!!
Here is a Black Navy Woundbadge:

Hello,

I believe you, I just thought that they made these after WWII not WWI and I won't fall on my sword defending it either. Yes, I would like to see the article in German please. You can email it to me at nay7777@yahoo.com.
Thanks

Dear CHap 15,

It is my understanding that the so called Chaplains wound badge was distributed after WWII by a monastary in Italy. They were given out to individuals that made contributions to the monostary that had been destroyed in the war. The story is written up in the wound badge book by "H????" (can't remember his last name).

Hello "Imperial" guys,

I would like to know how many of you have interest for these awards and you like to collect the WW1 WBs.
Please reply to this thread, we need your help.

Here's my lone contribution... It's nothing out of the ordinary, but the patina is absolutely gorgeous in person:
