Schwerin U-Boat

This is not my usual collecting area, but I wanted to add a representative piece to my collection, so I have been doing my homework for the past few months. I think that I have found a nice 3.1 Schwerin. What are your thoughts?

Hi Giorgos,
I agree with previous comments. Your u-boat is very nice tombak Schwerin, type 3.1 in Schwerin u-boat timeline and type 1.1.5 in the u-boat Classification system.

Thank you, Hubert! Nice badge, too!

Studying these was really interesting, it certainly enriched my knowledge on the different makers, too.

Thank you, Andy!

The truth is, that although it is a really nice piece, the original photos don't do it justice. A last one, with a better camera and a different lighting and background.
