Original Item – Only One Available. This is an authentic PMC Wagner 1st Wound Cross, officially issued as a survivorship award to personnel wounded in combat. Unlike commemorative or morale badges, the 1st Wound Cross represents direct battlefield service and personal injury, placing it among the most serious and meaningful decorations associated with Wagner formations. Examples of this original award were produced in limited numbers and issued strictly on an individual basis.

The badge features a bold, high-contrast enamel design with a cross-shaped layout and a central black medallion bearing the Roman numeral “I,” denoting the first confirmed combat wound. The layered construction and sharp enamel edges reflect official production standards rather than later souvenir items. At the lower arm of the cross, the badge is fighter serial numbered, directly linking it to an individual recipient and significantly increasing its historical and collector value.

This example is preserved with its original presentation case, a factor that greatly enhances desirability, as most surviving wound crosses are encountered without cases due to field conditions. Numbered survivorship awards from PMC Wagner are among the most difficult items to obtain, particularly complete sets. This piece represents a high-tier collectible for advanced collectors of modern conflict memorabilia, PMC history, and issued combat awards, and stands as a rare opportunity to acquire an official, fighter-numbered Wagner wound decoration with original case.
