Dale Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storage133 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
