Wrong head on the eagle for a Scwherin.

Snigley's right. It's a Schwerin -- NOT!

[Ron/K]

OK!!!

Thanks for that guys, I wont be buying that then (and it even came with a guarantee).

[Larry Lipps]

Ron, you might want to search some previous posts on these badges before you buy. That one's not even close.

[Ron/K]

Ahhh!!!!!! Yes I have had a look and see what you mean. I'll get the hang of this yet. Thanks Snigley

The first PIC looks a bit dark. Is there a propellor hiding down there or is running without one?

[stong]

another one

Hi Ron,
I just spot another one looks like your photos:

Hmmm

As a U-Boat novice I would personally have slung this babe because of the bearded eagle and the weird looking gilt colouring.

And also maybe a wacko looking wreath.

Anybody want to enlighten a heathen U-Boat collector as to what is fake and what is not etc???

Ouch, $390... That's quite the profit margin...

[Ron/K]

Yeah Stong that looks pretty much the same as the one I saw but that one was going for $280.
For dkelley, I think it has a propellor down there??????
