genoa41 Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 HelloI should like to hear your opinion on this badge .I am puzzled about the eagle's head and the positions of the talonsMany thanksgiorgiosorry for the poor quality of the pics
joetauchretter Posted June 29, 2007 Posted June 29, 2007 Hello , From what I can see in these pictures I feel this is a cast repro u-boat badge . The details look very " soft" , not sharp and crisp as I would expect to see . I would like to see better pictures , if possible .Best Regards, Joe

joetauchretter Posted July 1, 2007 Posted July 1, 2007 Hello, In my opinion this looks like a copy of the schwerin u-boat badge . I would expect to see the maker name and adress stamped on the back as most schwerin's were . Also I have held many repro's made in the 1990's that looked like this badge shown here , I even owned one as a display but gave it away to a friend who wanted a hole filler . This badge looks very nice but I just do not have a good feeling about it , the repro's out there now are too darn good ! Best Regards, Joe

Best Regards, JoeHi JoeI don't like this badge but I find it interesting .Of course it isn't a highly collectable objet .IMO the badge is rather close to a K&Q type than a Schwerin typeregardsgiorgio
