KM Auxiliary Cruiser badge............

[Steve 5]

Gentlemen, just obtained a couple of new 57er war badges from Rudigers collection, a big thanks to him , these two complete my set of Kreigsmarine war badges.....Auxiliary Cruiser badge and S-Boat badge, both early production, they sport the first tapered pin/hinge assembly but still early production pieces, early 1960's I would say....both by St u L
badges that are not encountered that often these days !
Note the size difference in the two badges, the Auxiliary Cruiser badge being "normal" size but the S-Boat badge some what bigger !
Enjoy.....................
Prost ! Steve.

First up the Auxiliary Cruiser badge, a great design... one of my favourites, this example has a riveted globe, I believe examples with glued globes can be also be seen from early/mid and late production time frames ! Beautifully gilded and highlighted.
Enjoy.....................
Prost ! Steve.

Hi Steve,

Congrats on filling the harbor!

They all look like great pieces and it is NOT "smooth sailing" finding all of these pieces today in 57er form. Still working on my harbor (somehow I got sucked into the KM vortex) with three more to go!

Congrats again,

Jeff

Great looking harbour, Steve

You really did well to get the last missing ones in one strike ....... it´s a good feeling when a section is completed, or?

Both are really GREAT !!!


I need the same two badges to finish my KM collection

I've never been interested in the KM badges until now. Now I'm just jealous. What a great collection of awards, all in perfect condition. You know, the collections you guys are putting together are quickly becoming historical records of production. A really fine collection Steve

Here's the rest of my associated 57er KM badges and clasps, infact I do require a Silver & Bronze small battle badges to complete the set of all KM 57er's !
Prost ! Steve.
