Hello , Could you please provide more detailed pitures of the hinge and catch at the bottom of the badge , The problem I have with this badge , from what I can see in this one picture is the crudeness to the cut out swastika .

cheers bill.

Hello,

All of the badges in your picture looks like all of the hinges have been repaired or crudely applied , IMO I would pass on all of these badges . The u-boat badge , even the color looks strange .

This thread shows the U-Boat badge thought by many to be the type made by Juncker.

This one seems totally different in design and with a pin/hinge set nowhere near the quality I'd expect on a badge from one of the major manufacturers.

I'd be very, very sceptical.
