Original army backed Zinc shield. Attributed to the firm of Juncker
Hope that helps...
Just to add...it would be worth looking at the cloth and the back of the shield as well to see if any of the components have been replaced.
Hi Pete...difficult to say. I had a flick through Georg Hogel's book and came up with these two. I'd say U-1004 stands a better chance especially when you read the entry but without provenence there's no way of knowing.
Hope this helps...Peter
HI Erik...Only what the dealer has stated. Hogel's book shows this type but that could just as easily be the 1st Flotilla emblem.
Point taken...I'll avoid this one I think.
Great pic BTW....I'm still trying to find a period pic to prove this one
Any thoughts on this one guys. The emblem for U247. And is this type of pin and catch assembly period to the time.
Thanks in advance....Peter

Any opinions on this 11th Flotilla badge....

Here's a latest addition to the collection. An officers sidecap bearing the emblem for U-763. I'm not sure what the crossed swords represent, possibly it's sister ship U-761.
Hi Erik..no rock solid provenance but I'm as certain as I can be these are period. I know they're part of an impressive Kriegsmarine collection that came onto the market a couple of weeks ago. A collection that included a rare Kriegsmarine Schellenbaum flag.
Thanks Gordon...You're right of course.This has got to be one of the most difficult areas of collecting. Trust me to take an interest in Tradition emblems
