JBeltram Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) Hello,First of all great thread. Even though it is Imperial, I think it should be included, here is an original Walther Schott hallmark as found on an Imperial U-boat badge. As I understand Schott was the designer of the badge, not the maker (probably Juncker).Regards,Jody Edited April 20, 2015 by J Temple-West
