very nice badge Janos,,,I envy your new acquisition,,,Robert
Very very nice mate!!
A real gem that one! I've always found this badge interesting - I know the Vikings have a reputation around the world for being quite vile and nasty, but it has never occured to me that they were Nazis as well!

Thank you very much guys, I am really happy that I managed to get this badge at last, the only kriegsmarine type I still want is a Schwerin S-boat first model, just need some money for it.
Great badge János and excellent photos! These are one of the best designs of badge IMO. I'm guessing it's tombak base material?
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
Hello Adrian,
yes, its tombak.
Hey Kenneth, Hitler and particularly Himmler were big believers in Norse mythology and introduced it into Nazism. Wagnerism, Wewelsburg castle, runicism, the belief that the Vikings originated in Germany, the Nordic blond and blue eyed look...its all there. Thats why Viking ships , runes etc appear frequently on our medals and awards. Himmler even wanted to abolish christianity in Germany and replace it with worship in the Norse Gods..it didnt catch on though funnily enough!
