Gordon Williamson Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The "Classic" Imperial U-Boat Badge, marked on the reverse "WALTER SCHOTT / fec." Not a maker mark, this refers to the famed artist Walter Schott who designed the badge ( in the same way that artists such as Peekhaus, Bock etc are named on the reverse of some WW2 Kriegsmarine badges).The "Walter Schott" badge is actually considered to have been the product of Juncker of Berlin.

Gordon Williamson Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Reverse with close up of Schott mark. Note that presumably due to a damaged punch, there appears to be an elongated top bar and only one vertical upright to the "TT" ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dond Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Nice badges. I guess its another one added to the "must acquire" list. I here these are heavily faked. Any pointers for getting a real one, preferably wartime issue would be apprieciated.ThanksDon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stogieman Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Hi Don, best bet is to deal with very trusted sellers. The other for-sure original out there that few people know about was made by Juncker. Unmarked, but typical pin/hinge assembly as in their early WW2 Auxiliary Cruiser Badges. Hold one of these puppies in-hand and you'll instantly know.One of my serious recommendations to folks is long before you buy something like this, try and visit friends, dealers and shows. handle as many badges as you can. In-person, the real stuff sticks out like a sore thumb as compared to the dodgy pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
