also:

All three have the "leaf shadow" in the proper place, as indicated by Chris. The silver one appears to have a replacement hinge.

I couldnt help but notice that 65 marked badges have escaped conversation. How does this maker figure into all this?

[Chrvip68]

Flak, nice badges. I like the type of the replacement hinge on your silver,this type can be found on some hollow types,also the hinge on your gold is a replacement or re-soldered.

Mark, this maker uses different design on his badges and of course is one other major manufacturer for these awards.
Tomorrow i'll post some pic's of other makers who using different design and they are excluded from the above design. From memory is:"65","L/56","L22".

I do have a few wound badges here they are...some pretty unique. The black badge is marked 65,KQ.and 2(triple marked)
the gold is a L24 marked and the silver is marked "4" on the pin.

Hallo,

i guess the woundbadge of the maufacturere L/57 is not very often on the market. K. Winkler has one in his archiv.

Chris,

You're correct, L/57 WBs is not encountered often.
The award on Kai's site is original and if my memory serves me well i haven't seen other L/57 with different catch/hinge assemblies and maker mark.
