Looks like a copy of the F.Orth shield IMO

Wonderful pair of UZO's and great photo's

Loved the Kriegsmarine board....

Very nice Justin....congrats :beer:

I'll post a couple of my wristwatches in the next few days. One has an original strap and the other has a strap I pinched off an old 60/70's watch.

Both shields look like good originals.

Cheers Ben

My 9th U-Flotilla badge http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2012/post-3147-0-03863600-1334955395.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_04_2012/post-3147-0-66498800-1334955405.jpg

Both nice textbook examples Tom :cheers:

Hi Joe....I've had a search through my books as well and can't find any info on this emblem. As you and Martin have said, possibly U-Boat (Hogels book as good as it is, isn't a complete work) or from a surface vessel unit. KR.....Peter

Great looking enamel badge Andreas :cheers:

Looks good Andreas....any chance of a pic of the second emblem

Hey Martin.....I managed to find one

Hi Andreas..interesting piece. Not the emblem Hogel show's in his book for U-29. That's not to say it isn't period, any providence on this one and can we see a bigger pic or scan of the emblem. KR.....Peter

Hi Erik...Looks good. Certainly stands a chance.

Amazing display of HK's Martin and a great addition to the collection.

Lovely looking shields and docs Chris :cheers:

Nice badges....definitely wartime period. Here's my example in gilded tombak so I'm assuming this is also pre 1945.

Thanks Erik...I think you're right. Possibly safer with the second type but I think I'll go for the 3 prong version mainly because it's retained its gilt finish... Interested to know what the base metal is on this one. Nice example BTW... :cheers:

second type http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-09747100-1323551473.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-49297200-1323551513.jpg

Hi Guys....I'm on the hunt for a nice original (Pre 45) Watch Officers badge. I've found a couple, the best one still retaining the gilt finish has 3 prongs. Question is, is this one wartime produced. Or is the second one I've posted a better example. Thanks in advance.....Peter http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-27331700-1323551366.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-24147400-1323551377.jpg

It's a good shield IMO dennis

Hi Dennis...does it look like this one http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-22598300-1323126939.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_12_2011/post-3147-0-60092000-1323126948.jpg
