U-Boot Kriegsabzeichen stick pin

[humble collector]

Here’s a 800 marked U-Boat stick pin I have in my collection. I figured I’d share it for review

Interesting, I have not seen a stick pin marked for silver content, except maybe an EK.
The front with missing finish looks more like zinc?

Hi Ralph, it does have that zinc look in tone where the gold finish has worn off from. However, it’s a nice smooth silver . It just one of the nice pieces I held on too. It will leave the collection in due time like everything else

Hi Guys,

I'm afraid that's a cast reproduction of the Schickle U-Boat mini. This design has been highly reproduced and Morigi sold them in large numbers.

I've attached here a couple of images -- first two originals for reference and second showing a Morigi cast repro next to that "800" marked example. When you compare them you can see the inferior obverse detail of the reproductions.

Best regards,
---Norm

There’s kinda a resemblance between the 2 , but not fully definitive between the 2 to me. I thank you Norm F.
