    U Boat Badge unmarked

    Yes, I am dumb, I know. Is this an unmarked Schwerin? I haven't studied and memorized all the UBoat Badges, yet.

    Thank You,
    Mark

        Hi Mark, I actually feel sorry for you. After all when a person owns every variation of every badge made during the third reich, how to keep it all straight? best wishes,

          Jeff,looking at the eagle iwas thinking Deumer also.Did Deumer make badges with both "solid"and "cut-out"swastikas?
          Thanks,Martin.

            Hi Martin, I believe so. Here is a Duemer I used to own with cut-out swastika and forward deck gun cutout, which is not cut-out on Mark's badge. The harware and obverse are identical. best wishes,

                    And your bustin' my chops!


                    Anyway.......I'm not sure whether to hold out for a 'cut-out' version like yours, or not. These days, even real Buntmetals and brass' are few and far between. I am seriously looking for UBoat badges now, and nice ones have 'dried-up'.

                      Steinhauer & Luck badges are also very close to this Schwerin "type design", though I think the deck gun is cut slightly different and the eagle's claws do not extend over the swastika's arm. Additionally, their swastikas were cutout, at least initially that I understand.

                      If marked, the "4" should be on the outside of the pin and not the body.

                      Here's a period photo from a circ 1940 S&L catalogue that is shown in one of Gordon Williamson's old guidebooks on U-boat insignia. According to Gordon, S&L catalogues are renowned for the accuracy of their illustrations.
