Found a nice looking U-boot Kriegsabzeichen deschler. Any thoughts guys? Looks good to me

I'm not aware that Deschler made a U-Boot badge. There isn't one on the Classification Table.

You are correct Adrian.
Deschler did not make U-Boot badges.
This is a fake based on the Schickle design with a spurious Deschler maker mark.

Cheers,Martin.

Thank you. I was able to read more about it and definitely not something I should've even considered lol

Of course Martin is 100% correct but even if Deschler had been a maker of this badge that outrageous and very un-German maker mark would have seen me drop it like a hot brick. I have the impression that such a mark was created by someone with no workable knowledge of any European language let alone German.

I hope you can return it ir at least didn't pay much for it?

Regards

Mark

I didn't buy it but was wondering what was up after not finding any comparable examples here on the forum I knew something was up
