I have re-named your thread,
The Use of German Terminology.
and moved it to the correct section of this forum.

I believe that this is a good zinc badge, unmarked Steinhauer & Luck. These are listed under 1.34 in Weber / Skora. The upwards curve of the bow is very distinctive.
There are other examples on the Web too.
Of course wait for other opinions also.

Thanks Ralph and many thanks houndstooth , value your help as I'm obviously new to this forum

I've edited my post - pretty sure this is S&L badge.
Amongst other knowledgeable people look out for Norm and Martin who study KM badges extensively.

Ok thankyou very much

**Alfiedog** · 02-08-2020, 06:36 PM

Is this distinction to their design as it has no markings which did concern me when I decided to buy it , I generally don't normally buy badges or medals but it took my eye as a nice item

Yes, many badges don't have a rear mark. My u boat badge is an unmarked Deumer. These particular S&L u boat badges are like this.

I agree with the comments by HoundsTooth.

This looks like a good Steinhauer & Luck zinc award.

Cheers,Martin.
