The accompanying letter to the Wound Badge in Gold, dated to 2 March 1944 and addressed to Festerling’s widow. Signed by an Oberleutnant (first lieutenant) and company leader, the name is illegible. Measuring 200 mm (w) x 147 mm (h), presenting a folding crease and some creasing and fraying of the edges, including multiple minor tears, remains near fine.
A Wound Badge in Black certificate to Unteroffizier (NCO) Festerling of the same unit as above for being wounded on 16 August 1942. Dated to 3 October 1942 and signed by an Oberleutnant and company leader, the name is illegible. Measuring 140 mm (w) x 200 mm (h), presenting a folding crease and light creasing and scuffing of the edges, remains very fine.
