Gordon Williamson Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 makerMany thanks , yours sincerelygiorgio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
