Kriegsmarine U-Boot Badge

Greetings.

My interest is mostly in WWII Soviet item. However, I do appreciate one of a kind item and would like to share something seen recently. The items do not belong to me and they are not for sale. For your viewing pleasure.

Hi DN,

Very interesting artifact. Do you have more photos and a story behind it?

It looks like a damaged steel punch (Patrize) of a Schickle/Mayer/Zimmermann-type U-boat badge, such as would have been used to make production dies, but I've never seen one of these before for comparison.

Best regards,

Hello Norm,

Please pardon me for not sharing the story behind this. The item is rather unique and I just wanted to share this photo with members of this forum.

Hello Norm,

My apologies. I do not know enough about the manufacturing process to make any comments. This gentleman has others items similar to this. They don't seem to be damaged; then again, I would not know what to look for.

I find it fascinating that we collect all these badges and really never see the items used in the manufacturing process. I just wanted to share the photo with members of the forum.
