Kriegsmarine 1st S-Boat pattern badge for evaluation

It looks good to me but not positive.

Flip side.

A copy I'm afraid. Doesn't look too bad from the front, but the reverse gives it away. The hinge/pin system is all wrong. If you do a search in this KM forum you should be able to find some examples of genuine pieces. The differences on the reverse will be apparent.

Thanks much Gordon. I did notice the reverse after the posting. All that work and they gave themselves away with that, HAAH - glad it was there to see though.

Hi Jesse,

i agree with Gordon.Not a bad looking attempt from the obverse view,but the reverse is the giveaway,as explained by Gordon.

Regards,Martin.
