Hello John You are right . The badge looks certainly funny . I have heard some opinions .The original had sharper points to the pin ; attachement point of the pins to the badge were much more smoothly done I have put off , I am not very interested in the Honour Clasps . Many thanks giorgio

Dear Gordon Many thanks. I have asked Michel to show his badge . Dead silence cheers giorgio

Dear Gordon You have ever beautiful badges . Many thanks for your kindness . Other question : is the mm on the pin as I have seen in a Michel's pic or on the boat ? I have never seen on the market this type . Is it very hard to find ? When you decide to sell a badge like this pleas remember me yours sincerely giorgio

Hello Jan fakes. Among other things the signature on Hilfskreuzer (Weyher) is wrong and "Koln" was a kreuzer , you can find some Flottenkriegsabz for kriegsfahrten on kreuzer Koln cheers giorgio

Hello Please, can I have your opinion on this document ? Signed by ? many thanks in advance giorgio

Dear Gordon Please , is it possible to see pictures of the UBoot badge mm L 52 ? Sorry , I have never seen this type . Many thanks for your kindness giorgio

Hello Gordon You are quite right as usually happens. It is not Hymmen What is most surprising is that you are unable to give this artist (maker) a name . I think his badges are really meaningful , much more than those by Schwerin praised to the skies by everybody . I hope that in your forthcoming book you will give space to this maker Many thanks , yours sincerely giorgio

Hello I am asking for your opinion about this clasp . I don't know these badges so I am distrustful Many thanks giorgio

Hello Gordon Sorry for my mistake. Is the badge alike that you showed in a postcard ? Can you help me to get out of this maze of ideas ? Many thanks giorgio

Hello I would like to hear your opinion on this badge I am disconcerned with the assembly system (hinge,catch,..) Many thanks in advance giorgio

Hello I would like to hear your opinion on this badge . It looks like an Hymmen type , but pin and catch are correct ? Many thanks in advance giorgio

Hello I own two documents concerning Obersteuermann Bruns :Spanien kreuz and UBootkriegsabz There is no doubt that the UBoot document comes from the expeditions on U415 and U953 . I am just wondering whether you can suggest me how to find out if the Spanien kreuz has been granted for boarding on a UBoot or simply on a warship . Thank you very much for everything you will be able to do for me . cheers giorgio

Dear Eric-Jan Thank you for your kind reply. If I get a thorough answer it is useless for me to go on on the matter Kindest regards giorgio PS I don't know very well the English language consequently I am in trouble to state possible opinions ; last but not least I am not an expert but an apprentice. I am a fisherman

Hello I would like to hear your opinion about this signature . Many thanks giorgio

Hello I would like to hear your opinion on this badge many thanks in advance giorgio

Hello Gordon As usual you are far ahead of every one in brillant ideas . The issue you raise is rather intrigning and not trivial at all . In my opinion your remark is well-grounded : as a matter of fact style variations should not be thought of as outstanding or unusual. I hope that the matter , once raised, will be further investigated (last but not least thanks to the book you are giving to publish) Good luck ! yours sincerely giorgio PS : sorry for my english
