We shall stick it out to the end, but we are getting weaker of course, and the end cannot be far.

Keep cool Leon...i am only a collector of the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen,but i see no problem with this badge.It is looking really fine!The real expert is Tom Durante.He is the expert with the best knowing on this planet.....
No worries Joachim, your knowledge on these is far superior to mine! The only other thing that concerned me with this badge was that I could not see the "rectangular"recess for the hinge to be mounted in that BN&L badges usually have,but I guess that's just because the solder has filled it in. I learn about these on a daily basis so keep on "putting me straight" Joachim and Ned!!! Leon.Keep cool Leon
I am not very familiar with the zinc badges.I have a better knowing of the early badges i would say.The pic in the area of the catch is unsharp.It is possible imo,that the catch had a repair.
Can you post a close and sharp pic of the catch Kevin?
Hi again Joachim, this is the only reference image I have of the "rectangular" recess on a BN&L , I think the hinge was also set in a similar recess , but It may well just be a variation. I hope it is of some use. Leon
Here is mine to compare.
Leon i think not that it is a variation......i think the catch had a repair.But better pics are welcome to be sure!
It's been that Roe rut time of year Ned! Early mornings and late nights in between twelve hour shifts at work.Where's Joe or Adrian when you need 'em?
I like the badge though.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
