Kriegsmarine Kriegsmarine Cap Emblems

Reverse of First U-Flottille badge.

Also Peter,

I have never seen a real 1st U-Flottille style pin in red. The accepted originals are blue. I have seen a lot of fakes in red. Here's mine for comparison.

Erik

Hi Erik..I think this badge represents a single boat- U247. I'd like to have a closer look at the enamelling.

[Erik Krogh]

Peter - do you have any evidence that U-247 used a red badge? I'd really be interested.

Thanks,

Erik

Diesel room showing the U-48 (or other boats such as U-564 who used the black cat emblem) traditions badge in wear.

[Peter BL]

HI Erik...Only what the dealer has stated. Hogel's book shows this type but that could just as easily be the 1st Flotilla emblem.

Point taken...I'll avoid this one I think.

Great pic BTW....I'm still trying to find a period pic to prove this one

Hi Pete...difficult to say. I had a flick through Georg Hogel's book and came up with these two. I'd say U-1004 stands a better chance especially when you read the entry but without provenence there's no way of knowing.

Hope this helps...Peter

[Wood]

Thanks for that Peter (good name),

All I can remember is that it came with 2 luftwaffe pith helmet eagles! and another (british) badge, and I thought at the time it may be one.

Regards,

Pete

Hm, I'm not even sure where I put it now.

[Odulf]

Gents, I've asked a question which should be in this forum. Would you be kind enough to have a look?

Hi Odulf,

nice photo's.

It looks like they might be wearing the "Lighthouse" emblem of the U-109.?

Regards,Martin.

Traditions badge for the 24th U-Flotilla and U-748 (ex Italian S5). Just picked this up at the SOS in Louisville KY over the weekend. No provenance except for the story: the seller is an old-time collector from Chicago who used to hang around with Hans Goebler (U-505). Purportedly this badge came from one of Hans' friends. Not much to go on, but the construction looks reasonably period so I took a chance.

Hi Andreas..interesting piece. Not the emblem Hogel show's in his book for U-29. That's not to say it isn't period, any providence on this one and can we see a bigger pic or scan of the emblem.

Hey Martin.....I managed to find one

[dedehansen]

Hallo Peter,

Scan from the front

[dedehansen]

and now the reverse side

All I can tell to this piece is, that I got it 1987 from

private with an iron cross and an U-Boot Kriegsabzeichen

Cheers

Fellow Researchers:

This one has me stumped. I've looked quite a bit. I am hoping someone will be able to recognize this tradition badge.

Thanks for any assistance.

A nice complete example too.

Great photo Joe.

Hello Peter,

it´s 100 % not U 1004. I have got a pictureframe with a collage of his awards and

two cap emblems. One is the the cap emblem of U 1004 and it is quite different

from the shown one.
