I can't wait!Thanks,MarcLooking forward to it too Marc.Its unusual to locate a photo clear enough to identify a specific type of U-Boat badge so your photo is quite a find.The initial likeness to Schwerin (cut out swas, narrow chest to eagle etc ) can be quickly discounted as the pronounced "beak" on your photo is unlike the poorly executed eagle's head common to the Schwerin type design. The chest of the Schwerin type is quite scrawny too.If you look at the beak/head area on your photo and also the basic curvature of the outline shape to the eagles chest, I'd say you have a very very good match for Wegerhoff.
