The WW2 German Black Wound Badge Maker 3 Wilhelm Deumer is an authentic military decoration awarded to members of the German armed forces during the Second World War. The Black Wound Badge was instituted to recognize individuals who were wounded in combat. This version was produced by the maker “Wilhelm Deumer,” located in Lüdenscheid, identified by the “3” maker’s code stamped on the reverse. The badge features a pressed metal oval design depicting a German helmet over crossed swords, surrounded by a laurel wreath. It was typically blackened and intended for recipients who suffered one or two wounds.
