ERIC Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Guys, Just picked this one up via trade and would like to have a positive ID - is this example a Foerster & Barth? It is not marked anywhere, but I just seem to remember that strange pin. I'm not a Kriegsmarine guy, so don't throw stones if I've screwed up the maker ID! Thanks in advance for the assistance!ERIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Eric,Yes, this pin system is indeed the type used by Foerster & Barth.Looks like it may have been re-finished on the obverse though as the waves would not normally be gilt, only the eagle and wreath.
