Wound Badge, Origional?

[Egret]

Greetings,

I have owned this Wound Badge for about five years I purchased it form RZM Collectibles here in New Hampshire. I have learned of other badges in my collection which have turned out to be reproductions. How does this one look?

It has a maker's mark raised 65 just above the hook. Any ideas on maker?


Thank you very much.

Chris,

65 is Klein & Quenzer, Idar/Oberstein.

Here is a picture of another 65. The wound badge experts can provide you more information on your badge. I note that the 65 on yours is much lower, toward the catch. I am sure someone will enlighten us on this difference.

From what I have learned is the 65 marked in the center is early.The ones
marked at bottom are later.The later ones are thicker and more heavy than
ones marked in center.
