A standard stamped Black Wound Badge, instituted in 1939 and awarded to soldiers who sustained one or more combat wounds. This example retains its characteristic dark finish typical of lwar production, with expected even wear to the paint. The helmet, laurel wreath, and crossed swords remain clearly defined. The reverse features the original long pin, hinge plate, and catch—consistent with unmarked late-production variants. Overall condition is good: surface finish is partially worn, yet the relief remains crisp and the piece shows no distortions.
