Hi Hubert,

Always a pleasure to see your brilliant collection. Although I share your opinion that the Juncker eagle is the most striking design, my favourites in your collection are the two "rare beauties" - the unmarked Beco, UC# 5.2.1 and the P&L, UC# 5.3.2.

Best regards,
---Norm

Thanks Guys for your kind comments, glad to see you liked my u-boats

George, my two Junckers are very nice but I would definitely prefer to have one marked Beco instead

Cheers,
Hubert

I forgot to mention that thanks to John and Norm some of those U-boats made their way to 'The Kriegsmarine Awards' reference book:
- tombak unmarked Beco (UC# 5.2.1) - vol. I, p.72-73;
- tombak unmarked Juncker (UC# 2.1.7) - vol. III, p.24-25; and
- tombak unmarked Deumer (UC# 3.2.4) - vol. III, p.30-32.
Cheers,
Hubert

Hubert,
Not only are some of these quite rare but the condition is amazing, especially the zinc badges. How do you maintain these so that they keep their finish so well? Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful examples.
