    L/18 U-Boat with Different Hardware?

    I have been looking for an L/18 U-boat badge, as well as the other LDO marked types. I found this badge but the hardware setup is completely different from any other L/18 I have seen.

    Any help?

    Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it can muffle the sound.

        Verso-hallmark.

        Badge is zinc, with cutout swastika. Could this be an earlier zinc transition from the tombak version?

          Bob, what is the green stuff most notable on the obverse, or is it a lighting and camera issue? The badge looks good to me. best wishes,

            I believe that is exactly what this badge is. John

              What appears green is just the gray zinc showing through the finish. Just a camera issue.

                  Dear Bob,

                  Interesting, especially because it has the variant L/18 mark, also to be found on some Destroyers, for example.
                  Cheers, Frank

                    Well, now all I need is the L/18 in tombak. Any help out there? AND about 15 other U-Boat types. Is there ever an end?
