I agree with Wiking. You really should have posted the whole grouping from the start. It could well be that the wound, promotion and KVK2 are all connected. Obviously it's not combat related bit perhaps related to an air attack, artillery strike or perhaps even an accident like ammunition exploding. That particular part i find quite interesting and worthy of further research. The KVK is also an extremely early award.

Nonetheless, do you agree that - as a whole - this set is valid? I think it is.Originally posted by Simon O. View PostComment

actually i saw many wound documents w/o seal, and some examples on Ostmedaille,
but seems never on EKs, assault badges.
so no seal on wound badge shouldn't be a criterion to judge it to be original or fake.
that is my little opinion, hope you can accept.Comment

I only reacted to the choice of wording 'very common' they should be stamped though as you know unlilke other decorations they can be found without. Wound badge docs are one of the few where mistakes and things that are not strictly by the book are ok.Originally posted by PanzerElite View PostCollecting German award documents, other paperwork and photos relating to Norway and Finland.Comment

I'm on Simon's side - no offense. "Very common" is a bit over-stated. "Accepted" or "not unknown" might be a tad more correct. I have a Silver WB doc in my collection for a silver wound, with no stamp. I believe it to be correct and real. And I've seen here & online enough Ostmedal docs without. But they are FAR more exception than the rule, and considering the sheer number of both of these types of documents, should be labeled at a minimum "available, but not the norm".
all the best
