Hello,

Very nice indeed! Especially good with provenance to such a long serving U-Boat commander. First time I have seen a Schwerin U-Boat Badge modified this way.

That is a great grouping that reflects the personal tastes of the recipiant. Kepp them together because if they are ever seperated and the provenance lost many will think they are fake.

Hello "dond",

you can be sure that I will never sell or seperate the grouping. I get the awards direct from the family for my U 178 collection.

I collect especially all from and about U 178 and the other "Monsun-uboats".

Here are the other awards from Ibbeken.

You can see on this photo from Ibbeken with a spanish navy officer the small ribbon bar and the "Baltenkreuz" from the picture before.
