1944金級戰傷章
A Wound Badge "20 July 1944" in Gold
in its original case of issue
Silver, partially gilded. Marked "800" and "2" for Juncker, Berlin, on the reverse side. The gilding slightly worn off, small scratches on the back (from assaying?), otherwise in outstanding condition. Dimensions 44.24 x 37.08 mm. Weight 35.65 grams (Nie 7.04.16 a1). In its original case of issue with black velvet and white silk lining.
Extremely rare. Only 23 or 24 have been awarded in the three levels, gold, silver, and black. The gold level has presumably been awarded four times posthumously and one time to General Bodenschatz, two of which are confirmed of silver level to Staff Lt. Col. Heinrich Borgmann, Adjutant of the Wehrmacht, and to SS-Gruppenführer and General of the Waffen-SS Hermann Fegelein. A Wound Badge in Black was awarded to Hitler's Adjutant of the Kriegsmarine, Karl-Jesco von Puttkamer.
Unquestionable genuine.
