Avitas Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Has anybody ever seen a Hilfskreuzer badge with the maker mark 16 on it? Here is a pic of mine. I have not found one anywhere on the net like it. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avitas Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 and the back of the auxiliary cruiser with mm 16. The front has good detail I believe (shields etc.) and would like opinions on this badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Not sure about this one, maybe OK, still looking at hinge, etc. I do not think the 16 had anything to do with MM--if anything, a supply stamp I thinkYou really need better images than this for evaluation, take a look at Gordon't thread on U-boat badges, that is the type of image you need to provide.Scanners, which cost around 100 bucks, will do the trick or a decent camera.

dond Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Pat, all your badges are fakes. Someone has taken you for a ride. Where did you buy these?Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avitas Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 I bought all except the coastal artillies from one old German man named Gunther here in Kelowna, BC. He swears they are late war die-castings, but I had my doubts after a while. Unfortunately, he will not refund my money so that is no good. Please check out my posts when I put the new pics for the Blockade, Coastal Art and CCC's.Thanks,Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dond Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Being old and being German doesn't mean good stuff. You need to study before you buy or find a dealer with a guarentee that will allow you to return things that are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few hundred sets of eyes are always better than one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
