Gordon, great looking badge and interesting to see in zinc.So we know that Jucker produced their U-Boat and their Coastal Artillery badges in zinc but i have yet to see one of their Auxiliary Cruiser badges in zinc,or at least one that can be attributed to Juncker. Regards,Martin.
Hi nesredep, here are some "party" photographs from a family album i have just received.There is an individual who appears in all three pictures and he is the one wearing the Minesweeper badge. First up is what appears to be a party with shipmates,possibly Christmas?
Pat, the new badge looks like a good Schwerin zincer to me.Tombak badges would not have the "bubbling" as your badge does.Another way to identify Schwerin tombak badges is that they do not have the circular catch plate. Regards,Martin.
Here is a recent arrival.Shows the U-Boat and Minesweeper badges nicely.Hard to tell from the photo if the swastika is segmented on the U-Boat badge but from the angle of the flag i'm wondering if it is a Zimmermann badges or perhaps a Mayer? Regards,Martin.
Nice looking badge Gordon and it appears to show good,honest wear.The Schwerin Hilfskreuzer has to be my favorite of all Kriegsmarine badges.I have two zinc examples but no tombak one yet.I think that the recipient of this badge went through a lot of trouble to repair it as he liked it so much. Regards,Martin.
Darrel, one of these days i hope to get a nice Schwerin Coastal Artillery badge to go with my Juncker.It's at the top of my shopping list.Can you post a close-up of yours? Jody, i always like to see your badges,beautiful.You've got to like those Schwerin Destroyers. Regards,Martin.
Darrel, very nice set indeed.I'll give it a shot as to the makers. Minesweeper-RK Aux.Cruiser-Juncker S-Boat-Schwerin. HSF-Schwerin Coastal Artillery-Juncker U-Boat-GWL Blockade Breaker-Schwerin Hard to see the Destroyer but maybe a JFS or GWL ? Again,nice set. Regards,Martin.
