Assmann Imperial U boat badge.....

[oradour]

Gentlemen, managed to pick this up, an Imperial replacement U Boat badge, based upon findings over on another forum with regards hardware, i.e. the "spindly" pin and civilian badge style hinge seen on Naval WB's and other Imperial badges associated with the firm Assmann who IMO most likely produced this badge, this piece exhibits the typical "curl" "C" catch seen on many an Assmann badge......comments/discussion please..........probably made in the 1960's ?
Interesting fact I learnt while researching this badge, it is believed that the first produced badges in 1918 had their wreaths factory painted green !
Prost ! Steve.
