Re: kriegsmarine
Hi Martin, I am not sure what you mean by a "U boat officers badge"? If you mean a U Boat war badge, please see this link which shows various makers:
http://www.unterseeboote.co.uk/kriegsmarine2.htm
However, I would be concerned about the U Boat clasp, more correctly called the U-Boots-Frontspange. These were only made by Schwerin of Berlin. Makers mark should be for them, together with the designers credit mark for Peekhaus Berlin.
Cheers, Ade.

Re: kriegsmarine
Hi Martinc
That depends under wich conditions you bought these two badges. Did he give you a live long guaranty? Don't have high hopes on ever seeing your money back from these, but you can always try...
