There's a fairly hefty die flaw on the edge, should make it easier to identify..........
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....
I spotted that too. On some of the type 3.5's I looked at there is a very small imperfection in that exact spot, but it appears to be dented in not raised up as here, and nowhere near as big at less than half the size. These flaws often get worse over time, a prime example being the feet and talon's of the eagle on JFS type II and II Panzerkampfabzeichen's degrading to nothing as production continued. However, after comparing it with known original and fakes in my database, i'm pretty certain it's good. What say others?

do you need more photos of the edges or some other parts?
The more the merrier I guess....Maybe a couple of close up's of the flaw for interests sake?

which flaw? im little bit lost in translation...tell me of which part of the schild should i take close up pics...
This one.
But to be honest, I don't think it really matters, as the original shot above when zoomed in, is enough. I shouldn't worry to much about it, everything else matches up perfectly.
