        Does anyone know if this is a good Wilver Wound Badge or a bad one?

          Hi Todd im no expert on WB but i dont like the look of this one. Helmet and swords lacks detail. The spine on both of the swords does n,t look right, and the tip of both as they go into the wreath looks somewhat curved. Not too keen on the catch either.

            Thanks for your comments on this one. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this badge.

            After looking a little bit more closely at it and comparing it to a few others I have, I notice the background 'dots' tend to blur out at the edge of the wreath, sword and helmet. I am begining to believe this one is a repro and should send it back. One other thing is this seems to be almost twice as thick as the others and is a heavy badge.

              Todd,

              For what i can see from the pic's it seems to me a good one, the catch has been resoldered or replaced through (scortch markings in this area)
              Tombak awards are much heavier from the zink based WBs.
              However there are several silver WBs out there and will be probably better to upgrade this WB with a nicer one.
