Awesome John! I would say the GWB and EK1 combo were probably taken from the same high ranking guy. Great piece.

Gold 1/1939 Wound Badge

This is a real beauty as far as I’m concerned; a real catch that’s been well stored.
Congratulations on acquiring it John.

Perhaps a stupid question, but I´m not a "Wound badge guy" :


How do you know it´s a Schickle? The hardware?

[kevin john]

Hi Ludwig ,yes that type of hardware belongs to Schickle Kevin.

[Ludwig]

Thanks, mate!

John another amazing piece ! I like this one just as much as the combo spange !

Some collection you picked up !

[John T]

Here is the entire lot of items. Story I was told is that it was brought to the USA by a German lady right after the war. I do not know if she married a serviceman etc. Recently a family member had died and they were selling items from the house. Also there was an EK2 ribbon, I think the ribbon bar size not photographed, enjoy!

I could not really see any correlation between the items but the condition all appeared excellent.

If anybody sees any relation between the items I will be glad to listen.

Hi

I'ts the design of the helmet thats unique for the Schickle wound badges
and the hardware, but you can find wb's with a round wire catch instead of the typical Schickle catch

I call the design "Pettson type"
