    Early Deumer / S&L Wound Badge Comparison

    Hello gents,

    In this thread are two full sets of wound badges. One set by Deumer and the second by S&L.

    I've marked some of the obvious differences like the convex area of the helmet rim on the badges by Deumer, the two missing pebbles at the very top, just under the laurel leaves, the differently shaped handle on the sword on the left, etc., etc. Clearly these are from a different die. Other differences? The Deumer badges are nicely burnished unlike "standard" S&L's and the detail is MUCH more crisp as well.

    The dimensions are as follows:
    S&L GWB - 30.18g / 36.87X44.30X3.72

    Deumer GWB - 25.03g / 37.22X44.78X2.99
    ______________________________
    S&L SWB - 30.00g / 36.72X44.46X3.88

    Deumer SWB - 26.42g / 37.24X44.82X3.08

    Clear differences between the two types from different makers and clear similarities from the within the family from the same maker.

    Further down the thread you will see pics of the full sets, obverse and reverse for comparison.

    And the silver versions showing the same characteristics. I've added arrows to show a few other areas where the to two makers dies vary in design.
