mike rowan Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi, This is my first post on the forum- so I hope that it works out. I have been going through some old cloth patches , which I believe are Kreigsmarine. Can anyone identify these ? Many thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike rowan Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks, Gordon. I think that they look oldish and well made, so I am going to assume that they are the 'real deal' . Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Mike, Yes, I think they are almost certainly good originals. The Diver patch is the best, and most desirable of them. The low value of the others has meant that there hasn't been any great effort to copy them. Fairly safe badges to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
