Hi guys at a local Show I came across this little beauty, tucked away in one of those cheap black hardboard cases, with awards that i did not reconsise the only KM or German award he had and at less than half the price. Well I know what i think but what about you guys. All opinions welcome

Still no good at posting pics , so hopefully a better shot of the front.

A view of the Eagle. Sorry for the pics , dont do this award justice. All opinions welcome

Beautiful! It looks like the mm was stamped so hard it deformed the pin. I would love to see some better closeups of the makermark. best wishes,

Very nice find. I´ve been looking for a marked one for ages.

Heres the back of my L/18 destroyer with marked pin.

Hi Guys thanks for the comments . Im am more than happy with this one and the price i paid made it all the better. The finish is spot on.

Hi Skip have compared the mm with the one you show, not exact but closer than it actually looks on the pics. There is only part of the eight as it was stamped to near the edge but it appears the same.

Hi Jeff that was the best pic the scanner could get (or should i say me ) All other pics were either too big to download or not clear enough. All the best

I only have found the earlier type of zinc L/18, with cut out swastika. Congratulations on you find, I have not had any luck finding one for my collection.
