Unmarked U-Boat badges all ok?

[Patty D]

Hello all,

Being relatively new to KM collecting and even newer to the awards, I'd really appreciate it if anyone can help confirm whether these two badges are original?

Many thanks in advance,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
Both are original Rettenmaier zincers but one of them looks refinished.
Cheers,

Many thanks for your reply Hubert

That's great to hear that both are original, but of course I'd welcome more opinions on the originality of the gold gilt finish.

Cheers,
Patrick

I think Hubert meant to say unmarked Funcke & Brueninghaus, not unmarked Rettenmaier.

Of course, these are zinc F&BL, thanks for correction Norm
