WWI ‘Silver’ Imperial German Naval Wound Badge. N 99. WWI ‘Silver’ Imperial German Naval Wound Badge. N 99. Miscellaneous

This is a World War I German Imperial Navy wound badge. Unlike the later Third Reich counterparts, the wound badges of World War 1 were split between the Army (Heer) and the Navy (Kaiserliche Marine). The silver class of the award would have been awarded to those who had sustained three or four wounds during service. The badge itself shows two swords crossed above an anchor, and the whole badge is surrounded by chain rather than laurel wreath. Measuring 4 ½ cm x 4 ¼ cm, the pin and clasp are in good working order and the badge is showing no damage. The price for this collectable item includes UK delivery. N 99.
