    F.o U-Boat

    Hi Guys,

    Would very much appreciate your input on this Fo U-Boat badge.

    Generaly I think it looks ok but I have 2 problems with it.

    1. The FO mm. just doesn't look consistent with others I have seen.
    2. The finishing arround the U-Boat seems a little crude.

    It's not my badge and I'm not planning to buy it. Just would like to now if it's ok or if it's a realy highend repro.

    Thanks for your opinions

          I know yours is beautifull and 100% ok this is how I would like an FO to look.

                  Hi Guys,

                  All very nice badges and I already saw them but that isn't my point. What about the one I posted.

                  Maybe I should make a statement and than others will feel the urge to proof me wrong.

                  It's My opinion that The badge I posted is a very good fake.

                  And that was also my reason for posting it so everybody could make a copy of it for their "fake files".

                  Anybody disagreeing

                  PS. Sorry Jan, posted this reply without looking at the comment you posted with your second pic. Will look for that thread. Why can't I manage to memorize them all

                    Okay, why do you think it's a fake?

                      Hi George,

                      Because of the 2 reasons posted at the start of the thread, and because the eagles head that shows similarity with yours and Jan's but isn't realy a perfect match.

                        George ,

                        Just found this in an older thread, I think Frank want mind using the pic he posted to illustrate my point. Look at the mm.

                          Okay, I think I see what you mean about the mark. And the head does appear different.

                            Philippe.
                            I believe you are very correct that this is a new high -end fake.The MM is different from all originals I have seen,and the hinge shows no signs of being in a recess as all originals should be in.

                              Hi Steve,

                              First of all welcome to the forum, just saw that this was your first post.

                              Your correct about the recess area. I didn't mention it before because based upon these pics I wasn't able to see if the recess area was there or not.

                              But I still would like to here some comments from the U-boat experts to be 100% sure. I also feel that if it is a fake than it is probably the best FO fake that I have ever seen. And I can imagen that a lot of collectors would buy these badges if they never before held the real thing in their hands.
