1939 BWB with packet for review

[ancientrelicsuk]

Hi Guys,

I bought this 1939 BWB with packet some years ago from a dealer I trusted. However, I now certainly have doubts about the packet but what about the Wound Badge? Is this original or a copy? It's not magnetic, so I guess it is made of brass.

I would be very pleased to hear what people think.

Many thanks for looking and for all comments.

All the best, Guy

I wouldn't say it's necessarily bad if it's non-magnetic......I have one in an LDO box that I believe is private purchase....However the details on yours appear weak, and I'm not overally fond of your packet....We'll see what others think.....Bodes

Packet is fake IMHO but the badge is good but unknown maker

Many thanks Bodes and Hans - I appreciate your comments. Glad to hear the badge looks good, even though the envelope is fake. I wish there was a book on Wound Badges - I've heard there is a very good Russian one - I just wish some enterprising publisher would publish an English version. Thanks again, all the best, Guy
