1936 Pattern "Spanish" or "Legion Condor" Verwundetenabzeichen

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, the wound badge is one of my collecting interests. I am very fond of these first issue badges, whatever title you care to give them

Here is one of my favourite badges from my entire collection.

This Gold wound badge was brought home by a British Soldier who fought in North Africa.

Cheers, Ade.

Here is a silver wound badge.

There are many different makers of this first issue badge, so they can be found in many slightly different die forms.

Cheers, Ade.

And now the lowest grade in black.

Cheers, Ade.

The gold one is extrimelly rare, and you are lucky owner. Today is hard and nearly impossible to find a good one- I don't say about the price....

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Dimas, I can tell you the Gold one cost me £30 about 30 years ago.

The British soldier found it in a fireplace in a house in North Africa. It was hidden under some rubbish. He was ordered by an Officer to light a fire and that is how he found it.

Cheers, Ade.

These are very nice. I like the style a little more with these. I got a silver one with a bunch of other stuff from my wifes family but unfortunately I think its a fake. Someday I will get a black one witch is good enough for me. Lee

A medal you better buy than earn.....!! ;-)
