    1. It is interesting to note that there is a picture of this award being worn in Jan 1946. So how could this award be produced and worn at the time? I concure with Gorden on the point that some pieces were produced. The original designe is well documented and exists. The normal form is equally rare but was produced before the end of the war.

    2. In my humble opinion , since this is NOT a field made piece I feel that this is a cast repro or a doctored 1957 badge . The details are very poor and the color looks incorrect with a wash of black chemical in the detail areas . On the back it looks like casting pock marks and why the date of 44 stamped on this badge twice ? And why Nantes Fr. ? Why not name the u-boat base that this was awarded at ? The dtailing around the anchor looks very poor to me and looks like a bad casting . This badge has been faked in the past and I do believe that this is one of them and should be passed up on , unless it is very cheap and you are looking for a hole filler .

      Best Regards,

      Hi

      Thank you for answering me, but i don`t think i can agree with your explanation.The reason why,is because an old Man in Norway got this medal during world War 2.
