WW1 and WW2 U-Boat badges. Or not?

[martyboy]

Hi all,

I have a pair of U-Boat badges. WW1 & WW2.

I have mentioned in my previous posts that I have been given a box of
German Medals & Badges, all proving to be false so far.

These are the last ones for scrutinising by members. I have a small hope
that one may be genuine.

Thank you in advance for your expertise.

Mart.

It looks like you have a full house of fakes there Mart. The WW2 badge is a common fake with wrong reverse hardware and the spurious 'Munchen 9' mark is completely bogus. No badges to my knowledge were ever marked as such.

The WW1 badge has very soft details and is lacking in overall quality.

I hope you can return your box to where you got them from with the knowledge given by members here and advise the person on what they have. Hopefully that person won't then go and try to offload them as originals elsewhere.
