Kriegsmarine U-Boat Cap Emblems?

[storage133]

Hello Gentleman,

some of you have really big experience in collecting

U-Boat parts.

Here are some pictures of cap emblems.

I think it could be U-Boat crew emblems.

Please tell me your opinion

Polarbear Which crew wears this item ?

Axe May be crew U-1004 ?

Foxhead Which crew wears this item ? U-647 ?

Antlers Could be U-748 ?

Back side of Axe:

Mark: H(A?) Schmidt, L?denscheid

Can anyone tell me which U-boat had the cap emblem in the attached photo? I've seen it before but in going through my reference books have been unable to find it.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Martin. When I compare the upper-most emblem in the photo to the U-74 emblem I can see that they are the same.

Hello Martin,

thanks for the nice photo.

I'm not sure about the kind of metal.

All i can say is, It's not magnetic.

I try to find about the metal at

a jeweller.

Do you have any further information about

the foxhead?

Best regards

Sto

Sto,

sorry i can find no information on the fox head in the references that i have.

Regards,Martin.

Hello Monsun, Beatiful emblem you got.

They are knew for me, but I like them a lot. Please could you tell me how to find one of them (especially the one you showed)?

More or less how much is the cost of these emblems?

I was looking in Weitze and Devlet but I could not find any of them. I am not sure if I search in the correct places in those sites, but I did not see any u boot emblems there.

Regards

Edgar
