U-Boot Frontspange

G'day all, picked this up today at a Flea Market, can anyone tell me about it? It's obviously Submariner

Cheers Phill

Hello Phill, It's hard to tell from the photo's, of course, but it looks like it's a not too good copy of a U-Boat Combat Clasp. From the one's I've seen, the pin should go in the other direction, and the metal should be zink. There should also be the manufacturer's name on the reverse side as well. William

Thanks William, I didn't think it was genuine as it doesn't have any maker marks but for $10 bucks it was worth a punt.

Cheers Phill

A pretty poor fake I am afraid. Cheers, Torsten.

A bit like this one, but at least the pin is in the right direction! Detail very soft - I assume cast.

A fake as the other guys says. But for 10$, it's no disaster..
