    S&L imperial Black Wound Badge

    Here is a rather unobtrusive imperial replacement black wound badge. Never the less it’s actually quite a rare catch. This black imperial wound badge in cut-out form was made by S&L, as part of their postwar imperial replacement badges.

    While postwar imperial wound badges by S&L in general are not a common find, this badge in cut-out form, is one of only a few that I have come across.

    The hardware used on this badge reveals it as a product of the early postwar production period.

    It goes to show, that it doesn‘t always have to be a spectacular RK or similar in order to be a nice and rare piece. Sometimes it‘s the unobtrusive badges that can be really fascinating as well.

    Regards,

    Alex

    Thank you for sharing! I would have dismissed this hinge/pin assembly altogether. Did S&L use it on any other designs?

    An attractive badge for sure!

      Thank you for your comment. As for this hardware used by S&L... they did use this combination on a number of their postwar badges.

                Was this hardware unique to a time period, was it used all through the post war era?
