Here's what I have guys. The black one is marked L/11, silver is 30, and the gold is L/63. I've got another black on which is on my old re enactment uniform with no marking that is also stamped.

backside the black one is marked in the helmet on the leftside as your looking at it. -
Hi Joe,
Unfortunately you have some bad news. The Gold L/63 is a definite fake - made by Floch in Austria since the 1980s (do a forum search for more info).
The Black L/11 is one many also believe to be a fake, however I have seen one in the posession of a German veteran who states it is his award piece.

In my book both the BWB and the GWB are bad ones - Flochs.Regards

Don´t throw away your fake WB´s! Get in touch with me.
I collect them for reference purposes for the benefit of the hobby (for the right "fake" price of course).Comment

Maxx,
I'm 99.99% certain the BWB is a Floch, as for the GWB - I'm 100% sure that's a Floch.
If you want to do some more study on Flochs, have a read of this thread -
