Kriegsmarine Identify this U-Boat Badge.

[Gordon Williamson]

Lets see if anyone can determine the manufacturer of this one.

Thirty views so far and no want willing to hazard a guess ? I'll give a clue - its a maker name on the reverse, not a number.

Hi Gordon,

I'll throw my hat into the ring first !

From these pictures the badge looks like a Maybauer ?

Best Regards

Very good guess, (and I suspect what most would think), but no.

It is Tombak by the way.

Hi Gordon

OK, Gordon,

I'll "hazard" a guess.

Is it a Beco? Don't know what their U-Boat badge characteristics are, but I believe that they would mark their name in script, not number. Also, the eagle has a rather big beak-o ;-)

It's a shot in the dark...

All The Best,

Erik

[Gordon Williamson]

BINGO!

Well done Erik. It is indeed a Beco. A rare beast indeed.

Unfortunately I was never able to get a good enough quality image of one to use for Torpedo Los! Weitze had one last year, but someone beat me to it.

Good guess Erik.Looks like another one to add to the list of manufacturers.

Regards,Martin.

Great informaton. Something new all the time so the research is not over yet.

Is it possible to get a better image of the Beco mark?
