Hi guys and gals. I was hoping someone could show an authentic "L/53"
marked zinc wound badge. I have a chance at one, but need to know
what the reverse pin/catch set-up on an original looks like.
Thanks in advance.........

Thank you, Nick. This is exactly what I needed to make a call on
what the reverse looks like. It is the same as the middle
badge you've shown - but it's a silver grade.
One last thing I need to ask - is there a liner rivet on the
back of the helmets on your solid badges ?
Regards,
Steve.
Yes Steve

Will do. The pin and catch are pretty unique,
so I needed to be sure.........!

Here finally, is the new L/53 badge. It would appear that the hinge
was put on crooked, but I think it's a nice one anyway.........
Nick, thanks so much for your help !
Regards,
Steve.
nice! Thanks for sharing the end result!
It's a nice badge Steve, well done!
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
