Very Rare Find For Review

[Nydigger1]

Thank you very much everyone, now if only I can find the card/wound badge for black...

I have never seen the colors of the wound badges named "mat white" for silver and "mat yellow" for gold. Late war reality names or has anyone else run into these?

NIce wound badges, first time I see some on these manufacturer cards.

Maybe out in left field again but the use of the expression"mattweiss" is reminiscent of terminology used in Weimar period/Third Reich medal manufacturer's catalogs I have seen where some items were offered in different grades/finishes (for a nominal surcharge of course).

As far as the recipient (or buyer) was concerned it was still a silver or gold wound badge but this manufacturer may have used the advertising opportunity provided by the card to suggest he produced other versions (eg: painted VS plated and plated with polished highlights)

Hi,

in WW1 Mattweiss/Gelb was the official term and it was printed as such on the award document as well.

Silber and Gold did not exist as such until WW2.
