Rare CASED WWII Nazi Silver Wound Badge Made in AUSTRIA

A beautiful early war Model 1939 Wound Badge in Silver Grade in the rarely-seen case of issue in a subdued but correct color of scarlet red. This example made even more rare by being manufactured in Austria! No maker marks on the badge, but a lovely little blue & white label is still intact on the bottom of the case reading: HAUPTMUNZAMT WEIN III. The badge is an early war example in heavy silver-plated tombak, and it has a lovely soft patina.

Circa 1939 (early WWII).

Approximately 1-3/4" in height and 1-7/16" in width (without case).

Heavy silver plated tombak; velvet lined cardboard case.

Vertical kick pin with squared C catch; hinge on case.

HAUPTMUNZAMT WEIN III on bottom of case.

This is from an early WWII Nazi wound badge collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VAJJX14 LBGEX7/14 SLBCEX4/16

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The badge has some light wear/tarnish and a lovely soft patina.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
