GWL Zinc U-Boat Badges

[Darrell]

Hi all.

I'm very interested in taking a look at the GWL Sub Badges that our members have in their collections. I am looking to study some of the similarities between these zinc models.

I am also interested in taking a look at the finish remaining on these badges as well. I'm not sure I can remember seeing a mint GWL.

I would hope everyone that owns one would contribute to this thread. Thanks.

Pardon the darkness of my pictures.

Nice badges guys. I missed out on a real nice one of these earlier in the year, ever since I can only find no or very little finish examples.

Hello Darrell,
Here are two GWL U-boat Badges from my collection. Only traces of finish left on these, but I love them all the same. Both badges weigh in at exactly the same, 18.1 grams.
Happy Holidays! Tom
