Gordon Williamson Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 Gordon,I was not aware that any MS badges were actually awarded with diamonds.JohnYou will note that unlike the regular MS badge, the one with Diamonds has a distinctively large swastika. A photo appeared in "Die Auszeichnungen der Kriegsmarine" which appeared to show such a badge in wear but I believe it has since been established that the photo was bad and apparently will not appear in the planned second edition.Whether or not any manufacturers trial samples of an MS badge were ever made is open to debate, plenty of alleged "originals" but none I am aware of with rock solid provenance. Certainly none were ever awarded.
