    Hi, I'm not familiar with KM badges, but recently got interested in acquiring one, especially the u-boat badge. A guy offered this to me. Anyone can help me determining if this is a good / bad and, if possible, the maker?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards,

    Windu

    Hi Windu,

    Could you please provide a side view of the catch? It uses Meybauer-like obverse design, the most common design among u-boat makers. It can be late war or postwar Rettenmaier or a fake. Cannot say from these bad images.

    Cheers,

    Hubert

    If there is a catch plate under the catch then it could be post war (or less likely late war)  Rettenmeier. But after closer look I cannot see one. Also base material  does not look like zinc and details are soft. It is a fake unfortunately. U-boat mark looks funny. 

    Cheers,

    Hubert
