(Schnellboot-Kriegsabzeichen for review

[badger51]

Am I wrong assuming this is a repro?

[rbminis]

St. & L never made this award as far as I know.

Ralph is correct.
Steinhauer & Luck did not make S- Boot awards,neither 1st or 2nd pattern.
This is just a very poor fake,sorry to say !!


Cheers,Martin.

Actually, S&L did make a 1st Pattern S-Boat but that's not it. They ordered the tooling for both the full-size and the 16mm miniature from Paul Wissmann in January 1942.

Thanks Norm.
I had completely forgotten about that 1st pattern S&L.

Cheers,Martin.
