While neither of my badges can approach the condition of the one shown by Gordon, it is interesting to compare the two styles. The badge with the cut-out swaz has the round wire catch and is considerably thicker and heavier than the non-cut-out example (with the flat wire catch). Please look at the top-down view below.

Tim, It actually wasn't purchased at a show - just an internet order Gordon - thanks for showing that stellar badge! Best, Erik

Beautiful, Gordon! Congrats!! Erik

Paul, Terrific grouping! Great to have all of the badges and insignia in addition to the Fuhrungsbuch. Congratulations!! Could we see a closeup of the tradition stickpin? Is this postwar? Best Regards, Erik

Thank you. Uwe. I didn't mean to get "off topic" - I originally wanted to understand whether the WWI Gold Wound Badge I had bought was authentic. Sooooo... Rick seems to think that these are genuine period, Uwe has pointed out that they were not reissued in 57.... What is the consensus on these three badges which all have the same reverse hardware? Best Regards, Erik

Here's an update: I purchased all three Naval Wound badges sold as 57er's on eBay.de. Here they are

Thanks for once again imparting your deep knowledge, Gordon! Now the hunt is on to find a photo with a warbadge in wear with a flotilla ribbon. Best Regards, Erik

Nesredep and Richard - thanks! Laurens, Here is a scanned page (140) from the book "S-Boote, German E-Boats in Action 1939-1945" by Jean-Philippe Dallies-Labourdette. It shows the various card suits were used as logos by the 2 Schnellbootsflottille. Best Regards, Erik

Thanks for the posts, Gentlemen! Martin - John Robinson informed me that the KM stopped wearing ship/flotilla-specific tallies shortly after the war started in 1939 for security purposes. For that reason, I wouldn't think that you would see a war badge and a ship/flotilla-specific tally in wear together. However, I could be wrong about this (wouldn't be the first time). Best Regards, Erik

Greatcoat attributed to Lassen with Korvettenkapit?n shoulder boards. The size on the greatcoat corresponds to the tunic size, i.e. only a slender man could wear this greatcoat. It won't fit on one of my two mannequins and is too long for the mannequin with the Lassen tunic.
