Hi folks, I would like to share with you my U-boat badge collection (it covers 1918-1957). Let me know what you think. Regards, Jody First up is an Imperial example with the Schott hallmark.

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the comment. I have known about this badge for 27 years and I have never doubted it, I thought you might find the hallmark of some interest. To me stuff like this is what makes the hobby fun. Regards, Jody

Here is the reverse:

Hello folks, I want to show you my cross. I had to have one since so many were awarded to KM personal. I have a question, what percentage of these crosses were awarded to KM personal? It look like most tended to go to the KM, or is that a false assumption? Thank you, Jody Here is the obverse:

Here is a better photo of the hallmark:

Hi folks, I want to show you this badge. It was obtained in 1980 by my best friend Victor P. I happened to be with him it was purchased (veteran). Well I was able to scan it yesterday and what do you think? The badge is fire-gilted and notice the balck solder. The badge is not re-stamped with the maker mark (it matches my Schwerin hallmark on my 2nd pattern badge to a T). Does this add to the mystery of who made this badge? Regards, Jody

Hi Gordon, Thank you so much. I figured it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. I wonder if there is a list of all of the winners of the Spanish Cross in Bronze w/out Swords? It will give my friend and I something to research. Regards, Jody

Hello folks, I was wondering if I could get some help on this badge. This item belongs to my dear friend Tony here in Arizona. The badge has the name Kassube scratched on its reverse. This came from a small grouping that was sadly broken up by a local dealer. There was a bronze Spanish Cross with out Swords that came with the badge (it also had the same name scratched on its reverse). Is there anyway I can find out who this badge may have possibly belonged to? Maybe the ship he served on during the Spanish Civil War? Happy New Year and thank you. Regards, Jody
