As I have no more detail, I guess I'll never know! Thanks for replying anyway.

Steve,

If you do not have any dates or places know where your grandfather might of have picked up the clock, I think it will be very hard to find out which U-boat. If he was on an HMS ship, which you knew the name of, it might be easier...but Royal Marines? He could of picked it up almost anywere and from a ship for that matter.

In my expiriance, items stories have often changed in the 60+ years, since end of WWII

Hi Hinrik

I have only just registered. I stumbled accross this site whilst researching my own clock, a Kieninger & Obergfell. This was 'acquired' by my Grandfather who served in the Royal Marines during WWII. Although it was in pretty good condition, I have had the movement checked and a cog replaced. The face was polished Brass, but is now restored with silver oxide? I have attached a photograph.

IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW I MAY TRACE THE U-BOAT IT WAS ON I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO FIND OUT.

Cheers

Steve
