Germany. Four Zimmermann Recovered First And Second War Badges And Medals

This grouping of four Zimmermann recovered first and second war medals, awards, and decorations, consisting of a 1) First War period Wound Badge, 2-3) Second War Condor Legion Wound Badge, 4) Eagle Order Merit Medal; all incomplete strikes; in recovered condition.

Footnote: Zimmermann was a well known German manufacturer of a great variety of awards, German as well as International, that was destroyed in an allied bombing raid in the early 1940’s on Pforzheim, Germany. Sometime during the 1990’s, during construction on the former factory site, a quantity of medals was discovered and purchased by eMedals. Some were in good condition, but most of the pieces exhibited fire damage, or were rusted. Hundreds of pieces were partially finished, and sometimes were mere medal parts, as one would expect to be found in the factory.
