Opinion on BWB

[NormWimpy]

Would like any opinions on this BWB. (other than I take lousy pictures!).

Details seem crisp in the wreath, almost all coloring front and back, Maker mark 88 on back.

It is magnetic, I thought it's probably a late war steel production that may not have been issued.

I'm suspicous of the pin closure, it matches a WW I BWB that I have.

opinions?

Norm,
Your badge looks good to me and this is one of the hinge setups that can be found on the 88 Werner Redo Black Wound Badge.

Thanks for the help and sharing your knowledge!

Norm:

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for sharing your badge.

Your badge looks good to me as well. My impression is that these are a bit tougher to come by than some of the other BWB makers.

Here is mine for comparison purposes.

What Dennis and Thomas said...

I also have a black1939 wound badge, my only one that is also MM88. The set up on the back looks just like the one you have posted. Are these a hard maker mark to find?

I agree too, nice and typical constuction by this maker.

Werner Redo's WBs are not scarce but for sure as Dennis said you can't found them often.
