U-Boots Kriegsabzeichen

[R.R]

I received this badge today, U-Boots Kriegsabzeichen by Wilhelm Deumer in zinc.

It's a nice looking badge and the finish is superb for a zincer. Is this a fairly uncommon Deumer badge?

Hi Adrian,

Someone on GCA forum identified it as a Deumer variant in zinc.

Thanks Ricardo, what makes it a variant, is it down to the reverse hardware?

Adrian,

Info from GCA forum is the "question-mark" shaped catch make it as a variant. Deumer badges usually have the typical Lüdenscheid thick metal catches often associated with Deumer and G.W.L.
