About this item
A good early heavy Tombak (34.09 g) Wound Badge in Gold by Hauptmünzamt Wien.
Overall condition is very good with some age toningh and perhaps polished at some time. The reverse with the 30 Hauptmünzamt stamp and a good undamaged broad fixing pin.
Regulations regarding the award of the badge were:
Black (3rd class, representing Iron), for those wounded once or twice by hostile action (including air raids).
Silver (2nd class) for being wounded three or four times.
Gold (1st class, which could be awarded posthumously) for five or more times wounded.
The "progression" could be waived in the event of loss of a limb or eyesight; when such a severe wound occurred, the silver badge was awarded.
