A lovely early black wound badge L/11 Deumer! It is constructed out of a die stamped, tombak base that has been black painted. The oval badge depicts an embossed profile of a mobile swastika, above an M35 pattern helmet, which is again above two crossed broad swords. This then all lies on a pebbled field and is surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath which is tied together at the bottom with a bow tie. The reverse of the black wound badge L/11 Deumer features a hollow back is clearly maker marked “L/11 “(Wilhelm Deumer Ludenscheid) . The pin, hinge and catch are all intact and in well-working condition. An excellent piece to add to your collection!
