Hello All,
KM badges aren't my strong point, so I wanted to get your opinion on this badge. I've looked through all of the articles, but still not sure. The almost total absence of the anchor on the front scares me somewhat. Scratched on the back is what appears to be the owner's rank, name, service number: Fk. Ob. Gef. Willy Ahrens, 0 (I think it's a zero, but maybe the letter O?)7398/41; in the middle a ship name Adm. Scheer; and on the other side is Ahrens.xx.
I hope these scans and magnified photos are good enough. I'm not the best photographer.
Thanks,
Dale

The obverse looks like it's been well cleaned and polished, hence explaining some apparently missing or poor detail. I'm not 100% sure what to make of the burring on the swas arms. The reverse is textbook genuine though.
