Hello Everyone I have now had a very very close look at all of the documents and soldbuch and I think that the soldbuch,u-boat citation,EK1 citation and bronze u-boat front clasp citation are all original.Someone has lifted the stamp from the bronze u-boat citation and printed it on the silver citation with a computer and printer then added all the other bits with a typewriter or something like that. Can anybody estimate what the set would be worth without the silver u-boat clasp citation.I would estimate this... u-boat citation ?250-300 EK1 citation ?200 u-boat front clasp citation ?375-450 soldbuch ?600 What do you think am I about right.I want to estimate that with the loss of the silver clasp clasp that I have not lost to much Best Regards Richard

Hello Everyone This a silver u-boat clasp citation to a man that served on U427.I have a few questions maybe someone can help. 1.When it says Bergen was this the place where the award was given to the man or where the citation was issued? 2What does gez mean where it says gez Kuhnke the strange thing is that Kuhnke was a Kor.Kpt and not a Kapt.z.see? 3.The stamp says hoheres Kommando de Unterseeboots Ausbildung I thought it may have been stamped by a combat flott or Norwegen headquarter stamp.As the man had been with the 13 and 14 flott for the last 4 months Best Regards Richard..

Hello Gordon The set also has an early u-boat badge doc dated 1940 ,a EK2 doc dated 1940 and a 4year service medal doc dated 1939.I do not Know why the mans family were given the KIA doc but it is dated mid 1943 about 1 year after he died and 3 and a half years later than his first u-boat award.Maybe they just sent the wrong doc. Best Regards Richard
