Steinhauer & Luck Destroyer Badge

[Lorenzo Brown]

This is a fairly uncommon badge that I thought I would share. It's a tombak S&L, pinmarked "4" with a great firegilt finish. These are very high quality badges and hard-to-find.... so keep an eye out for it.

Thats one badge I'd love, a marker marked one like that !!! I do see unmarked ones more often than not though. I've a soft spot for destroyers and minesweepers.

Hello Lorenzo,
Nice badge, and excellent photos of it. S&L has always been my favorite in a Destroyer Badge. Much nicer than a buntmetall Schwerin in my opinion. Here is one from my collection. It's not perfect, but I think it has a great look.
Best regards,
Tom

Here is the reverse. No top hook, but oh well. This one would have had the flat wire top hook.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

@ Tom....nice badge!

I hope other members can post pictures of their S&L Destroyer badges. I have seen these badges with a longer tophook and would like to see and learn about some of those.

Hello Lorenzo,
I think mine would have had the long type of top hook you are referring to. The long top hooks were made of flat metal stock instead of round wire. They were probably more prone to breaking than the shorter, stockier top hook.
Best regards,
Tom
