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

Georgio,

There are two badges which are almost identical. The badge by Hymmen, sometimes marked L/53, and the one you havee which is almost identical, but with some very slight differences to the eagle head, chest and the U-Boat. Both absolutely genuine examples from the period. Genuine Hymmen badges are very rare.

This is a Hymmen piece. Look very closely at the eagles head and body and around the conning tower of the submarine and you will see several differences.

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
