Show Your Imperial U-boat Badges

Better pics of the badge being questioned will go far to sort this out.

Yes, I agree and I might add that it's very possible Meybauer had more than one die as I have noticed slight differences between Tom's badge and one that I think Gordon Williamson has shown in the past.

The differences are minor but apparent and IMO, both share enough common traits that I consider both to be original. So, maybe we can learn a little more here on this maker as the thread progresses.

Sure, the weight is 23.8 grams. I don't have the best measuring device, but is measures 48 mm long x 47 mm high.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Tom,

just waiting for the postman to do his thing now but will let all know once it gets here,

Hello to all,

Meybauer has now arrived so I will arrange to post some images as soon as I
can but at this stage, weight 23.12 grams, 48.1 mm long x 47.3 mm high

so in terms of what Tom has reported about his example it is looking good so far and does not look too bad when held in ones hand,

p.s. Meybauer two headed eagle manufacturers symbol has been definitely seperately stamped into the badge and not cast into it

Have asked ebony today if he will post some images of the Meybauer badge from Carsten. I have to say that it is a nice badge in hand,

Given the soft details of the front and the air bubbles on the back I'm not a big fan of this one. Weight and measurements please.
