Kriegsmarine Schwerin U-Boat badge

[Jan Arne S]

Hi Guys !

For some Weeks ago I got a PM from a member here on GMIC , he had read Gordons excellent "Torpedo Los" and found my name on the Acknowledgement List .

He figured out that it most be me .

He mainly collect KM , and sent me some pics of some of his KM awards . From pics nearly all looks good , but I was not sure about this U-Boot Badge .

So he sent it to me , and hold in hand it gives a much better impression .

But I dont have any maker marked Schwerin in my Collection , so I have to compare to pics and other info .

then it is always good to have an other eay to look at it .

So I post this scan for Him here .

I don't like Schwerin U-Boat badges, but no question about this one being original -it's 100% OK.

More than just original, a nice early tombak maker marked original! As Schwerins go, quite desirable!

Yes, I do like this badge very much. Non-burnished top wing, thin neck, wire catch, 100% correct. John
