Kriegsmarine - Hilfskreuzerabzeichen Zink - Hersteller?

[Rosenberg]

Hello collector friends, could get this bundle cheap. I don't really like the back of the badge. It looks roughened / badly edited. From the needle system maybe Schwerin Berlin with a Tombak globe? Can someone confirm that it is original? Thanks for the effort and help

Is the EK2 set in a resin block??

The reverse cut outs do not match Schwerin but, they are very similar to St.&L.
The reverse does look like a cast copy to me.

Hello, yes the EK 2 is inserted in a block. Ralph, you mean it's a copy ?? I couldn't really interpret it through translation ))

The shape of the cut outs from the reverse do not match Schwerin.
They do look similar to Steinhauer & Lück.
The roughness of the reverse make it appear to be a copy.
Wait for other opinions.

Looks very S&L to me certainly not Schwerin, maybe post war assembled or fake. not one for me but wait for the real Kriegsmarine guys to come along, Regards ,Paul

Hello Ralph / Paul, thanks for the quick answers. Your opinion is really important to me. I also thought that the roughness of the back is actually not normal. From the needle system, it should be a fake S&L

Too bad I would have loved to have the EK2 inserted. But he only sells throughout .........

Cast copy for me. I do not think it is trying to be a Steinhauer & Luck.

The prow of the S&L's have 4 layers of shiplap. This example has only 3 visible.

Thank you for your effort, does anyone happen to know the "special feature of the EK" It is inserted in a glass block?
