[Darrell]

The badge you show is the Auxilary Cruiser Badge, not the Blockade Runners badge. I don't quite understand what you are asking. It's not denazified or a '57 badge, and the picture is too small to make any judgement to originality.

This is a 57 blockade breaker from an earlier thread

And this is a 57 Auxillary Cruiser, also from an earlier thread.

So yes, they do exist and were authorized to wear.

Hello

Kai Winkler has two for sale. Don't forget to ask for the 20% discount that he is offering off all items until Tuesday 18th September. His website is at:

https://www.nordheideversand.de/

The two in question are the Hilfskreuzerkriegsabzeichen, item numbers 27656 and 27659. Don't bother with the Hilfskreuzerkriegsabzeichen mit Brillanten, item number 27660 as this is not a 'real' 57 piece.

Regards
David

I moved this thread to this location as i was not sure what "bbj" was asking about. If a Moderator finds it more apropriate to move it back to the 1957 forum, please do so.
