Hi Jacques Im in a bit of a rush , S-Boat looks Like a Souval Post war copy, as for the hinge, pin catch, have never encountered anything like this before, would not support the badge, would keep away from that one. U-Boat clasp look like a nice original. Closer shot of the mm would be nice. All the best

The eboat looks like a good L/18 type....clasp looks good as well

We have discussed this S-boat badge in detail before. Do a search for L/18 and you will find it. Same badge of course from Philippe-Militaria used in that discussion. Anyway, good badge from this maker, there is a L/18 stamp at the bottom.

Frontspange probably OK, like to see a shot with the pin up due to recent quality of fakes.

Hi John thanks for the tip found the thread , very unusual too say the least, would not have thought the reverse set up would hold the award firmily in place. Think i can see that fence . All the best

I've seen an original Auxiliary Cruiser badge with an identical reverse set-up as the S-Boot badge,short pin and marked L/18 at the bottom.
