Gordon Williamson Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
