Peter BL Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 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 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Peter - do you have any evidence that U-247 used a red badge? I'd really be interested. Thanks, Erik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Krogh Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Diesel room showing the U-48 (or other boats such as U-564 who used the black cat emblem) traditions badge in wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter BL Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) 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 Edited October 29, 2011 by Peter Baillie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 (edited) Is this one? Its brass. Regards, Pete Edited November 19, 2011 by Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter BL Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin W Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi Odulf, nice photo's. It looks like they might be wearing the "Lighthouse" emblem of the U-109.? Regards,Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Krogh Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter BL Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) 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.

JSlavick Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 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. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
