2dresq Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I would like to share my layout of my KM badge collection. Hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking. JustinG 2dresq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Justin, a very nice set of badges you have there,but hard to appreciate fully from this photo. I know you have a great 1st pattern Schwerin S-Boat badge. I think you should photograph and post the badges individually,if you can. It would be nice to see what the makers are of each piece,and basemetal,etc. Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Williamson Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nicely displayed. Your First pattern E-Boat is a real stunner and would be the centrepiece of any KM collecton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 The Tombak Destroyer badge. This badge as well as the spanish cross w/o Swords belonged to the same KM sailor. I just acquired the cross from a friend who said that the group had been apart for over 10 years. I am happy to re-unite them.

2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Spanish Cross The pin is believed to be of "wartime" repair. I think it is a fine repair. I am happy to have these two in my collection. (Destroyer and Spanish Cross) Edited October 22, 2009 by 2dresq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 High Seas Fleet badge. Zinc/worn badge. Regards, JustinG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 zinc U-boat, but I like it. It's in great shape. Regards, JustinG Would be nice to trade out and add a Junker eagle golden U-boat badge. Like that eagle on the Junker example. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have a nice zinc worn minesweeper, This maintains about 70% of original finish. It has a nice worn look. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) The Center piece of the collection; a badge that I am extremely fortunate to have. My near mint Schnellbootabzeichen. :love: Thanks for looking. The Other Schnellabzeichen badge was posted on this forum. There is controversy around this badge. I believe it to be a good one of war-time production, and so, I have it in my display. The Eagle is maker marked M in a Diamond.

2dresq Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Thanks all, I appreciate all the kind words. Regards, JustinG 2dresq I look forward to my future collections. I am working on framing photos to go along with my "armada" of tallies I have acquired. It is going to require alot of wall space, but, I believe this would be a wonderful representation. Gordon's posting showing the tallies and the ships represented showed me how good that can look in that layout.
