A wellknown English dealer is selling this ACB mm V. Wilhelm . Is this firm universally unquestionable as war time maker or still subject for discussion ? Many thanks -
Kriegsmarine UBoot badge

John The badge is very intriguing . The sw is not completely segmented but the deck gun remind Zimmermann . IMO the possible attribution to a specific maker comes only from guesses ; we have not a definite interpretation . As usual Gordon tackles the problem in a way very interesting, of course the findings comes from the premises . The chosen methodology detects the solution more probable . Just now I don't see other way out giorgio -

Dear Gordon I wellcome your explanations The possible attributions shrink to one . However the employment of an existing die to produce zinc badges doesn't rule out Zimmermann . According to your book Zimmermann produced zinc badges (I have never seen a specimen). But is possible to make use of the same die for two materials (bronze and zinc) ? The two materials have different metallurgic property . Was the technology of the time in working order to die indifferently the two materials ? If that's the case I don't explaine myself the reason why Mayer has replaced the dies. I have not a ready answer yours sincerely giorgio -

The obverse looks like F&B segmented swastika (uncommon pattern) , the pin system is unusual for F&B. The number is a "4" . Type 4 that appears in the S&L catalogue comes under the Schwerin category . Along time back J. Arne has shown an UBoot badge . tombac, mm 4 on the pin ,similar in shape to the Juncker type . I am really at a loss. Last but not least some fixed points have recently been questioned : see the Deumer affair , not yet settled . That's the reason why , in this case, I don't feel I should give my opinion either favourable or adverse on the matter . Many thanks for your advice Best regards giorgio
