Silver Wound Badge "30"-for review

[Klaus54]

I would like to get your opinion about the originality of this Wound Badge in Silver, marked "30". It is made of zinc. What puzzles me here is very smooth surface of the revers. I expected to see some bubbles there. Pin is magnetic. Is it the original one? Should it not be made from thicker rod?
Paper issue bag seems to be original.
Thank you in advance for your comments.

Hello Klaus54,

sitting at work at the moment doing a graveyard shift and i can not see anything alarming with your badge.

Hi,

I don't know about the tute but the badge looks original, just pretty harshly cleaned with a nasty abrasive - ?steel wool?

Regards
Mike

Agreed. Looks like somebody tried to make a dark zinker "shine".

I can only agree with the others, a fine original Haupt, but with some agressive cleaning which scratched it up unfortunately.

Thank you, Tom and Rylan, for confirmation of the condition of the badge. I guess, cleaning could be done by the original recipient. I do not believe, a dealer or collector would do it. Unless , the very unexperienced ones.
Best regards,
Klaus
