Thanks very much for the input Gordon. I was able to buy one of the green saw fish emblems and the owner had told me that it was from the U-Boot Archive. At the time this was discouraging a bit because I was thinking along the lines of it being a tourist trinket and couldn't understand why they would be selling them. I took the chance anyway.
The enameled badge from Thomas is real puzzling. I can't find any reference in Hogel's book so it probably rules it out as a U-Boat badge. My best guess is E-Boat or something. Any ideas where or how I could carry on the research on this one?
Thanks Much always Gents - Jesse
Just my immediate thoughts are that it looks to "clean" or new. The edges are a little to crisp for me and the metal too uniform. Tough always though with these. Its been a while since you posted did you already decide? Maybe you have more pictures or info on it by know?
Hope it worked out - Jesse
Thanks very much Erik. I'll send you a PM with phone # before the show. If I do have to sell anything I'll let you get a look first.
Have a good week - Jesse

I'll send you a p[rivate message with more info. Let me know also what you are collecting, I'll keep my eyes open here in California...you never know.
Thanks For the reply.
It measures 7x4 cm and has two holes on the back that are parellel and centered to the ends. The holes are 2 cm apart. Tough to tell with these..... I'll have to now buy an early collar tab Skull to see if it fits OHHH-NO hahhahaha
I recently bought a ships clock from Hamburg. The story from the owner is the following : "Among the non-spectacular history. My grandpa was a carpenter and has Repaired in Hamburg at the shipyard vessels. He always said that he has been given to the Clock. "
What I'm curious about are the bases there. I believe there were 2 U-Boat pens but what about other surface ships. Does anyone know if Hamburg typically had surface ships based there as well ? I'm trying to see the chances of the clock being on a U-Boat. It is numbered 948 "N" although I don't think the numbers can be traced ?
Thanks Much Gents, I'll get some pictures posted A-Sap
