Wound Stripes Opinions Please ??
Picked these up recently with other items that were all fine, but I`ve never seen a wound stripe with folding rear blades before, they appear to have age, but are they right ?? Excuse the first picture, I couldn`t turn it around.

Wound stripes
Were brass wound stripes issued during WWII?

The question is related specifically to the Wound Stripes and not the Service Chevrons.
Wound Stripes were indeed issued in metal in WW2 and were shorter than those in WW1. regards
