WWI BWB a little different

[van59]

At first I thought this WB was just another salty version. In doing some research on the forum looking at a number of BWB, I noticed that this one did not have the pebbling on the reverse but that the pebbling on the obverse apparently was stamped from a thicker steel and didn't require a reverse pebbled die.
Of course the question is whether this is real or fake.
Any comments are gratefully appreciated with attendant thanks in forward.
regards, van

Thanks, Ron. Out of curiosity, have you or other readers seen many, if any, of these badges that didn't have the pebbling or stippling on the reverse side?
If so, is there a known maker using this technique?

Yours shows faint traces of pebbling on the reverse. Some badges have different degrees of imprint. Regards, Ron.

I also think its good. Ive seen the same on some less often found manufacturers versions of the ww2 Wound badges.

Hey Van,

don't worry your salty WB it's ok...

As for the dot's is nothing real to worry about, perhaps the die, maybe not so good production etc,
this make some character...enjoy
