Hi, new to forum & new to collecting. Anyways i have the chance of this Orth u-boat badge. From the research i've done it looks legit but i'm no expert. Your opinions please.
U-boot Kriegsabzeichen, F.O.- good or bad?

Hi madskot, welcome to WRF.
I like what I see, for me an original badge, but you need to wait until Martin W, Norm F, Jody or some of the other guys who are big KM collectors to take a look.
Regards, Ned.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
The hardware is correct for this maker and I am able to see the expected circle mark on the reverse. The maker's mark also looks to be correct. I believe this is a good one but as Ned has stated, best wait for Martin, Norm or Jody as they are more familiar with Kriegs awards.
Please use this thread if you are posting any more awards for review.

its a good F.O. zinc badge nice to have.
Thanks for the help guys. Looks like i'll be adding this one to the collection.
Indeed an original.
Just a line to say welcome and it is indeed a good original badge.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi, welcome to the forum. That is a good FO award in zinc, correct hardware and showing the ejector mark to the reverse. Leon.
Nothing more to add-a good Friedrich Orth badge. The zinc is eating the gilding and will finish the job fairly soon, but for that, it's fine.
