Kriegsmarine Post your best Destroyers badge

[JBeltram]

Hi folks,

I have always loved the Destroyers badge by Schwerin Berlin. I would like to see what other Destroyer badges are out there.

So let us see your best Destroyers badge.

Regards,

Jody

Here is my badge. There is actually no gilt missing anywhere on the badge (there is no gilt missing on the eagle, but it looks like it in the scan) and it is perfect (I feel it is hard to beat).

This badge belongs to my friend Tony Casale here in Arizona. It is very worn but it has a lot of personality. This was from a set that was broken up, and the winner of this badge also won the Spanish Cross in Bronze with out Swords.

Regards,

Jody

Whilst I'm not a big fan of Schwerin (some of their stuff is nice, but some is pretty cruddy), I did quite like their Destroyer badge, even though some of them have that horribly mis-struck swastika.

I still think GWL did by far the nicest Destroyer badge though.

I would like to add two to this, one great, one so-so,

Both from same man, the Schwerin bought, the vertical pin one of 3 vertical pins given to him when it was awarded. It was a Narvik award...

Something a little different....Destroyer Badge in Bullion.

Here is my dystroyer badge, found in an weekly junck market. I paied 5 Euro for it. I think it's original but I am not shure, can I get some opinions regarding this badge. i collect romanian militaria so I am not an expert in german ww2 badges. Here are the pictures of the badge.

Hi Claudiu,

The badge appears to be a poorly cast fake of a Schwerin badge,sorry to say.

Regards,Martin.
