Tom,
Correct! The smaller size was for civilian wear , while the larger for military personel. Apparently , the owner of my pair never wore his large badge.

Hello,
I've paired these two up , so the badge was not originally issued with this case , but they make a good match.
I'm looking for any opinions , good or bad , on the badge. It is so obviously well-made in hand , but I understand this eagle might be somewhat controversial.
I already know what John thinks , but encourage him to weigh in , all the same.
Thanks!

Very interesting! That Sub on the postcard is clearly without a propeller. Excellent reference!

WOW! That would be something to see! However , I can understand if you want to keep them close to the vest.

Gordon,
Thank you for the great info about the propeller! I was under the impression this was not correct.

Yes , F. X. Schwarz handsigned them all.
I believe these were first handed out in 1933. Perhaps, Riedel received his later because of his higher number.
As for the descepency in dates. Perhaps , people would get their badges out of order? It was not like today , where one could just pop in quickly. If Riedel had to travel to pick up his badges , perhaps that is why the date is later? A delay?
I am only guessing. I am sure there are others who know way more than I.

Is the propeller supposed to be missing from these badges?

Who said it was over? The only one I've heard say that is Nancy Pelosi and that hardly matters. It is not finished by a long stretch.
