Wound badge maker mark

[Chrvip68]

What do you think?

Angel has send me some pic's of his badge for better opinion. As i told him, i have no problem with his badge and in my opinion is looking original.
Now about the makers mark,
First i haven't see WB's marked in this position and of course the owner have better opinion what the markings says but i have a different opinion,from the scans appearing three digits on the swastika: one unbalanced "1" one "rounded" not elzevir "2"
and the last one,one "0". Also notice another digit near at the edge of the helmet,it looks to be "1". I can't see the initials "F.K."

Last, we have another maker for Wound Badges or....
I would like to hear more opinions.

hi all

there is a 127 m gold wb with box on epier its flat back and the mm is above the catch, ithink it was 127 or 129 go checkit out

[Angel Farré]

Mine is a 129 followed by FK, no doubt about this as I ask other people who came to my house his opinion, other collectors have the same idea, it seems to be original, but no explanation about the makermark as no previous news from this maker as doing wound badges, It take me years to note there are a mark in the svastica as I always look ar the bottom of the helmet or below the catch, never inside the svastica. Another little mistery of this world

Cheers

I'll have this markings in mind for the future, you're not alone,i remember years back one of the variations of the Klein & Quenzer firm a black WB maker marked "65" and "KuQ" i discover after a hard inspection much later the year of construction!

Rodney,

The item that you refer to is a fake one,or at least, questionable.

Always all these (fakes) badges are gold and most of the times cased with regular or small cases. This maker produced wound badges with cast in hinge and catch and not separate applied on the badge.
