Hello! This is the invalid/wound Romanian badge of WWI! As you see, it is place on a piece of ribbon of the Virtutea Militara cross.

Best regards,

Hmmm... It looks in an unusual great shape, but I don't remember seing such a badge on sell anywhere... I suppose it could worth some 25$ (the WWII wound badge are more expensive)...

Best regards,

Unusual great shape?
You think it's fake?
Here's a photo of the back and one of the maker's mark.
By the way, do you know what it means?

Marking : Mogoedio

Sorry, I never heard of that maker's mark before!
