Gordon Williamson Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 This one recently made an appearance on Thomas Huss site (a very brief appearance as it sold very quickly). Lovely and rare original example of the hollow back U-Boat Badge and in super condition.Not the rarest of the hollow back versions, but still very hard to find, and now finally being accepted as original after being falsely branded as suspect for so many years..

Weitze had one too, last year. I don't think they were made by Meybauer however, the pin fitting is exactly like Schickle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Williamson Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Luckily, the collector who purchased it from Weitze, later sold it through Thomas...Very surprisedf the buyer from Weitze sold it on so quickly. I'd say that apart from the Diamonds badge this has to be the rarest and most desirable of all the U-Boat Badge types.Here is another example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
