Black Wound Badge Maker?

[TP Alexander]

Got this Wound Badge, issued to a man at Kurland.
Looked for a maker...E.S.P.???
Any help here?
Thanx,

It's part of a group from a guy that was in the Kurland Pocket and his Regiment made it back to Germany by ship, through the Baltic, unlike the Wilhelm Gustloff.
I have the certificate for the Black Wound Badge along with all of his medals, other awards and corresponding certificates, his Wehrpass and other miscellania from the war and post war reunions.

And I have to confess to being an idiot.
I did a search in this Forum for 'EPS'.
Duh on me!

Would be nice to see the whole grouping!
I like these E.S.P. badges a lot myself. Among my more favourite makers.

I did photos and scans last night. There was quite a bit. I have all of his awards except for his KURLAND cuff title. i'll show everything in the appropriate Forum and leave a link here.
Thanx,
Tim
