kapten_windu Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 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
Bubba_Z Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited October 10, 2018 by Bubba_Z
Bubba_Z Posted October 10, 2018 Posted October 10, 2018 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
