    UB Badge


    Recommended Posts

    Hello gentlemen,

    i am hoping to gain a bit of insite on this particular badge, i have spent a few hours scouring the internet and have not turned up much more than the little i already knew. If anyone has information they are willing to share i would be grateful.

    Thanks!

    hi dale,

    the first thing to point out is that this is an austrian award, not a german weimar or freikorps badge. these badges have been heavily reproduced. do you have images of the reverse? many were issued with a clip fastening device

    Hi Eric,

    well i didnt see that coming, the only information i could find at all said imperial navy 1914-1918, but did not really expand much beyond that. Thanks for your input.

    Hi Dale,

    here's mine.

    It's a good copy of the original austrian empire u-boat badge,

    awarded in April 1910.

    Original badges are hard to find and very expensive!

    Take a look at weitze.net in Hamburg.

    I think he sale one.

    Best regards

    Sto
