Hi David

Looks like a good B.H.Mayer to me.

I post a picture of my Mayer.
Mine is unmarked.

In my opinion, a 100% authentic Mayer tombak U-boat badge. Your camera flash makes the reverse finish look different, but it is OK under normal lighting I am sure.

No matter, it is a period badge.

A good one !

[AndyC]

I forgott to say that your badge is an early one in tombak and not so common to find.
So take care of it.

yes, definitely a mayer, that flat topped hook is quite distinctive, i have one, also unmarked, i wonder if they all were???

[Martin W]

i think this might be the first one i have seen that is marked L/18.

Very nice,Martin.

Hi,

It appears to be an original in very nice condition. A reverse pic with the pin down would be useful - to see the shape of the main pin. I don't recall seeing a Mayer with this type of block hinge before.

Regards
Mike

It is the same hinge and pin as that shown in Torpedo Los for a tombak example. John

I dont have any problem with the pin and hinge.
Here is a picture of the back on my Mayer.
