I have a small collection of Austro-Hungarian submariner's insignia which I have accumulated with my collection of world wide submariner's insignia.

There are a some badges on which I have been unable to find data .

Both Quesada and Prichard in their articles say there is a cloth backed insignia. Was this done for veterans ? And why was it done? Quesada provided a picture.

Also, Steiner and Patejld in their articles say there were badges with horizontal pins. Every pin I have seen was vertical. Does anyone have a picture of this badge with the horizontal pin? Who made them?

Any information will be gratefully received.

I am a collector of submariner's insignia with a soft spot for the Austro-Hungarian submariner's insignia,  Researching these i have come across  2 authors, Jorg Steiner in his book, and the Czech Pavel Patejdl in his article in Signum who say this badge exists with a horizontal pin.  Has anyone seen one of these?
