Hollow back stamped U-boat badge

Does anybody know if real hollow back stamped U-boat badges (WW2) exist?

Dear John,

There is no accepted original example of a WW2 hollow back stamped Kriegsmarine war badge, including the U-Boat Badge. But fakes do exist that have this feature.

Cheers, Frank

Hi Frank,

Thank you very much for this information. I saw one that was offered for sale but will pass based on this information.

Stamped versions of the WWI U-Boat Badge was made and worn, but I agree with Frank that WWII versions exist today, but I don't personally like or trust them to be period badges..
