    High Seas with diamonds

    99.99% sure this is a fake - thought I would post it here and get your thoughts. We were cracking up about the feathers on the eagle's chest and legs - looks like a lion! Any insight into where, when, and by who this was made?

            HSF w/Diamonds

            Hello,
            I can tell you the pice is not period, but I don't know who made it. I remember pieces like this really started to surface in the mid-80's.

            Regards,
            Jody

              Obvious fake of course.

              The question I do have to ask is where any 'diamond' versions of this badge ever presented???

              I think not.

                  key details:

                  the oak leaf laurel are in poor details.
                  the eagle - totally wrong. compare with the standard HSF badge
                  level of finishing for such a high esteemed badge is no way matched with such a level of poor workmanship.

                  101% fake.

                    Flotten-kriegsabzeichen mit brillanten

                    Apparently yes this badge has been awarded:

                    GENERALADMIRALS OTTO SCHNIEWIND was awarded a FLOTTEN-KRIEGSABZEICHEN MIT BRILLANTEN on Juli 20th 1944.

                    It's also for sale by Andre Huesken - A cased badge with an award document!

                      Seems there was a Souval ran a few production runs of these badges in the late 50s

                      Might of been a way to get around the no-Swaz rule in BR.

                      here is another rather ugly one for sale

                      http://www.muenzauktion.com/huesken/item.php5?id=17217

                      At least he says it is not orginal

                          I was looking about for OTTO SCHNIEWIND bio and I can see the high seas badge but no mention of diamonds?

                            Hilfskreuzer-Kriegsabzeichen mit Brillanten

                              It is my understanding that there were no High Seas Fleet badges with diamonds awarded. Nor Minesweeper, Destroyer or Coastal Artillery.

                              Only the S-boat, U-boat and Auxiliary Cruiser (HSK) badges were awarded in diamonds, typically with an overlarge swaz.

                              S-boat and U-boat by Schwerin, Aux. Cruiser unmarked by maker. John
