The WW2 German NSKOV Wounded Veterans Lapel Badge was issued by the National Socialist War Victim’s Care (NSKOV), an organization established to support wounded and disabled veterans of the First and Second World Wars in Germany. The badge features a bronze-tone finish and is typically oval-shaped, with a prominent depiction of a steel helmet and crossed swords, symbolizing military service and sacrifice. The organization’s initials, “NSKOV,” are integrated into the design, often accompanied by oak leaves, which are traditional symbols of honor and endurance in German heraldry. This lapel badge was worn by eligible veterans on civilian clothing as a mark of their service and wounds sustained in action, granting recognition and certain privileges. The pin-back construction allowed for easy attachment to a lapel. Issuance of the NSKOV badge was strictly regulated, and only eligible veterans were permitted to wear it during the period of its use, which spanned from the interwar years through the end of World War II.
