Gents, just obtained a couple of new 57er war badges, these two complete my set of Kreigsmarine war badges.....Auxiliary Cruiser badge and S-Boat badge, both early production, they sport the first tapered pin/hinge assembly but still early production pieces, early 1960's I would say....both by St u L
First up the Auxiliary Cruiser badge, a great design... one of my favourites, this example has a riveted globe, I believe examples with glued globes can be also be seen from early/mid and late production time frames ! Beautifully gilded and highlighted a badge that is not encountered that often these days ! Note the size difference in the two badges, the Auxiliary Cruiser badge being "normal" size but the S-Boat badge some what bigger !
Enjoy.....................
Prost ! Steve.
