    The first badge is apparently supposed to be a hat insignia made on by a crewman on a U-Boat. Normally even though sometimes handmade, these insignia were a badge of honor worn by the the crews. Therefore a great deal of care was used in making them or they were jeweler made. This one looks like it was made by a 5 year old with a hatchet. :angry: The 1813..... well it would look better without the crown. I suppose that is to represent the owner has had it for 50 years? :P

    I think a 5 year old with a blindfold and a hatchet would have made a better job :P

    The Imperial crown would have to make it at least 58 years. By stretching one's imagination it could be a Unification commemorative, but,

    This was not an issued badge but was made up.

    I think that says it all :cheeky:
