Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie.

[Adrian]

Here's an award we don't see many of on the forum, The Coastal Artillery Badge or Kriegsabzeichen für die Marineartillerie.
This is a zinc badge identified as a late war Steinhauer & Luck variant with crimped hardware. If anyone else has one in their collection, please post it.

Nice one Adrian. I only have one in my collection a tombak Juncker:

Superb badge János! The wreath has retained the gilt very well, or do you think it's been refinished? I notice the gold colour goes over the barrel of the gun?

[Anubis]

Itt a funny one. The gold gilt has lost and the tombak material had been polished. I guess its a factory done job.

[Adrian]

So the gold colour is actually the tombak? That's interesting, I've never seen that on a badge before. It was obviously done well!

Its the same job that you can see on Don's badge(earlier belonged to Norm):
