Schwerin U-boot frontspange for review

does this U-boot frontspange stand a chance? It has traces of bronze wash so would be a bronze one, and the hinge and pin looks like it may have been re-soldered.

Anyway, have at it.

Thanks

Hi Adrian,

I agree with your assessment - a worn original with the original hinge re-soldered after separation.

Best regards,

I know little about these other than it's a 1st pattern. The details look quite soft on the obverse but that could be because the flash has washed them out. Maybe request some closer natural light images. The reverse looks convincing, hopefully you will get some more opinions.

*Edit. Norm replied while I was typing so it's a good one.
