WW1 Black Wound

[pete666]

Hello All,

You no doubt hear this all the time but i am new to the medal scene and have recently been passed down a couple of examples to start my collection.

The first is a WW1 Black wound badge. I have "googled" the badge and it looks genuine from what I have found out. Anyone have an opinion on it????

The 2nd is a German lapel pin, I believ from WW2.

Apparently both were bought for £20 each.

I'd really appreciated your feedback.

Hi. The pin assembly alone is commonly regarded as being no good. Regards, Ron.

Ok thanks for the input, when i say passed down I didnt mean from a relation, just from someone with extra medals.
