Hi Sven,

Great badge!

Like Hubert says, there are two obverse dies for the zincers but only one that we know for the Tombak version. It appears that die continued in use in the zinc era before the introduction of the second type without the gun rivet (seen in the other thread for which Andjelo posted the link).

As far as the Tombak version goes, there are three hinge pin variants similar to what is seen in the Tombak Schwerin U-Boat badges: round-head, waffle-head and headless, probably in that order chronologically. They all seem to have the flat-based catch suggesting that Schwerin had already made that transition prior to the introduction of the Marineartillerie Badge in mid-1941.

Best regards,

Sweet Schwerin.

A lovely example of a Schwerin Tombak CAB.
Looks to be a very Merry Kriegsmas with your CAB hanging from the tree.
