U-boat aws

I have not seen this maker mark on any other examples when I searched.

This is a repro I presume?

AWS marked badges exist. Let's see some more pics.

Hi Don, this is the obverse. Only pics I have. Hope this helps. I can see some green patena.

The design is the correct one for this maker but the details, front and back are weak. That catch scares me as well. I think it may be a cast copy of an original. A side shot would help.

Please see these pics.

Not the best but all I could get.

Is it a dud?

I agree with Don, details are weak and although the side photos are poor, it seems that there may be cast lines showing. There are better examples out there.
