Person selling this only had the back of the badge picture. I’m assuming due to front showing a Swazika. Now wondering by just looking at the back. Can you tell if it’s authentic?  I’ll try and get the front photo. Thanks. They’re Selling it for $55.

I would be skeptical of buying anything without seeing the front image as well. 

 

The Maker Mark "30" is for the firm: Hauptmünzamt, Am Heumarkt 1, Wien III/40,,, 

 

HOWEVER, on original 30 marked wound badges the number 30 is larger and towards the bottom where the clasp is located. Is this a Zinc or Tombac Silver badge?  The stamped 30 on this particular badge is also upside down as it should be towards the clasp end in the other direction..

 

I don't like the looks of this particular piece.

 

Just my thoughts.. 

 

Best regards, stay safe
