Is there any chance this badge is original? I reviewed the threads, but don't have much of an eye for these badges - I'd appreciate the 50 pound brains weighing in! s/f Robert

Lousy pictures, I know - but does anything jump out at you? s/f RobertComment

Sorry to have wasted bandwidth, fellows. I skipped the one thread where this exact badge was discussed - looks like another bad one. Thanks anyway - s/f RobertComment

Hi Robert,
Not a waste of bandwidth if it re-highlights a bad badge.
Looks to me like a very good casting of a Schwerin. It would be nice to see a full reverse pic of the badge, but I guess that was excluded from the seller's pics for a reason!
Maybe pop it into the fakes section for eaiser reference if you haven't already done so.

Robert,
As Mike said, not a waste of time. Appears to be a Schwerin type design with a bogus Juncker mark.
For your future info, though not 100% confirmed as we have never seen any original u-boat badges with an accepted Juncker mark, the current thoughts are this style of badge (below) could possibly be of Juncker manufacture.

True, but to understand what you are saying, I recommend members do a search for this badge you are talking about. Jody posted one a while back.Originally posted by genoa41 View Post
Meanwhile, the badge at the top is a fake.
