Did the maker with the number 65 make Wound Badges in Steel and Brass ?
I ask, because this one appears to be steel and I thought they were only in brass ? It is magnetic, am I mistaken ?
Thanks Jack

Does this look like a good Wound Badge in gold and can I get some opinions on the box.

Does this look like a good Wound Badge in gold and can I get some opinions on the box. The box is nicely covered, looks aged for real, and has a white cloth on the bottom. It is 58mm X 42mm X 13.3mm thick. The wound badge has raised letters L/63 and it looks good to me, but I have been wrong. I am trying to clean off my desk again. And finding all sorts of stuff. But as it works out I am not finding what I am looking for.
Thanks to all that reply, by the way, my wife has my camera. So all I can send is scans.

Please ignore the question on the Black Wound Badge, I am mixing makers in my head. I just remembered what I was thinking of.

Hi Jack - I believe that the GWB is a well know fake, as for the box I don't know, however GWB's would come in a black case and not a blur box - sorry man

Hello Jack,

Your #65 Black Wound Badge is nice but, unfortunately, the L/63 Gold Wound Badge is a Johannes Floch Austrian fake.

Best regards,
Tom

I realized I was thinking of another maker on the 65. But the GWB sort of makes me sick, I did not think the box eas for a WB, but it is right for something???
I never specialized in anything but SA daggers, and unless you specialize, how could you guys know this, it is not that I am doubting you. but is it in your head. In a book, in your notes ????
Thanks to all, Jack

Hi Jack,

The fake L/14 & L/63 Gold WBs have been around since the late 80s and are quite well known now. Search the forum for a host of previous threads. One of those threads will also show scans from a French issue Militaria Magazine from the 90s where they were "officially" outed. These Floch WBs flooded the market at the same time his infamous fake EK1s and KVK1s.

Regards
Mike
