do you have an original example that you could post for comparison AdrianC? i would like to learn about the differences between this fake and the real thing.
Unfortunately not! Try a search in this forum and you might find a couple, or else perhaps someone who doeas have an original can post one.
Don't forget there were several manufacturers and there are many differences in details between them.
The main thing to notice on the example above is the very rounded inner corners next to the swastika - hence the name 'rounder'. No original awards have corners so rounded.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
It makes you wonder why a faker would create such obvious fake inner corners !

This fake is purporting to be a Zimmermann make but as stated it is no good , it has a number of faults compared to an original.

Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader

I believe this is an original one Adrian?
