U-Boots Kriegsabzeichen.

[Francie]

I've just bought this U-Boat badge, what do you think?

Hi Francie,

I'm not the worlds best judge, and I would be happy to be shot down in flames, but it doesn't look too good to me, but for your sake I do hope I am wrong

Have a look at this site; Untitled Document and compare yours with these known examples.

Cheers,

Grant

Seems no good to me too!!

Not too clever at all,sorry. You can see a mis-casting on the sub from the obverse & some sort of flaw to the flag from the reverse. Then there's the pin,but pin etc could always be just a replacement. Stewy S

Very indistinct detail to the eagles head

its very difficult to buy a badge without reference book , scale , caliper , you see in military show a good badge , you have a doubt , you buy , and you return in home , you take a book , and you see its a fake

hi francie.. agree with the above . not looking good at this stage .it may be of help to provide a couple of pics ,flat obverse and reverse ,instead of pics of the award on the stand. eagles head is distorted or it may be the angle . in my opinion this is a cast copy award with a replaced pin to help it seem more original ,ie salty.......paul
