    I agree! This is definitely a piece for the museum. That way, it can always be used as a reference source when the rest of us want to compare (or likely contrast) the ones we find.

      Why is everyone so sure it is original? There is almost no info out there on these at all.

        They did? I was completely unaware of this. Does this count for Kriegsmarine badges with diamonds or perhaps with Oaks/Swords/Diamonds as well?

        Please let me know either way. Thank you.

          I can't say for the other decorations you quoted. Concerning the SC, simili diamonds stones were used for the awarded crosses (Info from owners of original one). May be crosses were made for private purchase with real diamonds, but different from the awarded ones.

            That would make sense....the 3 c's def missing from this piece...carat clarity colour...very milky
            I have a beautiful Schwerin u boat and thats diamonds...the clarity and colour are very fine.

              Hello again,

              Thank you for the response.

              Is Godet also responsible for the private purchase examples as well or were there other makers?

              @ Robert - so, your Kriegs badge.....was that an awarded example or private purchase?

                Not known which, not many made, and only given on 23 occasions. I'm sure you know already, its not really an award as such, more a 'bestowal'.
