Here are some larger, less resolution pics. The hinge has been damaged and repaired. Hope these help.

Pat

Here is a bigger pic of the makers mark. The badge has been repaired for sure, just not sure when..

Here is the back, I had a pic lying around that wasn't resized.

Hi people, thanks for your ideas. here is a larger picture with lower jpg quality (I'm having trouble fitting a decent pic in 60K of space). Anybody know a good pic resoloution and size? Anyways, the maker's mark and most details do match the originals, I will try to get another pic of the back as well (I'm off to work soon) and it should be up in a day or two. Here is a larger pic of the front,

Thanks,

Pat

Any ideas on my other badges? the rusty colour comes from my scanner, sorry.

Pat

Here is the back, it's not as rusty looking in person, must be the scanners settings. I can only post 60K pictures so if anyone has ideas on how to post bigger pics with good res, please let me know.

Thanks,

Pat

Here is mine, damaged back, swaz, and wreath, but I think it's a good nickel-silver one. Any opinions? I have lots of badges on right now if you want to check them out (mostly in Heer/Navy so far). I am new and looking for advice.

Thanks, pat

Here is the back. The badge was bent heavily and the swaz was damaged, I sort of straightened it but it almost broke so I left it.

Hi there, any ideas on this unmarked Luft Flak badge? It appears to be nickel-silver and two piece.

Thanks,

Pat

and the back of the auxiliary cruiser with mm 16. The front has good detail I believe (shields etc.) and would like opinions on this badge.

Has anybody ever seen a Hilfskreuzer badge with the maker mark 16 on it? Here is a pic of mine. I have not found one anywhere on the net like it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pat

..and the back, vaulted with FO maker mark.

Look good?

Thanks,

Pat

Hi there, here is my FO maker High Seas Fleet badge. The pin/catch have been replaced/repaired, like most of my collection. I think it is good, any other ideas on it?

Thanks for any advice,

Pat

The back, with some vaulting and tiny L/18 makers mark.

Hello, here is my L18 U-Boat badge that appears to have the characteristic sloppiness of this maker BH Mayer I believe. ANy opinions on it? I am new to this site and would like some feedback.

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the back, with the replaced pin and dished back.

Looks Good?

Thanks, Pat

Hi, Here is my scooped out Blockade Breaker badge. I have heard this is an early characteristic, is this true? The pin has broken off and what you see is the replacement pin. The original hinge and part of the original pin are present. Any ideas on originality?

Thank you,

Pat

and the back...

Here is my other Juncker Coastal Art. badge. This one is the standard one I believe with a de-nazified swaz on it and missing the catch. I think it's good, any opinions?

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the scooped back i was talking about. Does it look good?

Thanks,

Pat

The back, you can see the vaulting and the maker mark. Looks good to me, but what do you think?

Hi, my Juncker Coastal Artillery badge is vaulted, and has a different colour to the wreath than what you usually see. I know they made them in a more sandy colour for Afrika Korps, could this be Afrika Korps?

Thanks,

Pat

The back, check out the bottom right of the badge. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Pat

Hi, my Frank and Reif panzerkampfabzeichen has a severe dent on it, looking like a bubble on the front and a gouge on the back. Anybody seen one like this? Or is it just damaged?

Thanks,

Pat

Here is the other one I have like it, except made out of tombak. It is mounted to a lanyard.

Anybody know the maker?

Thanks,

Pat
