    New ships in my harbour

    Hi everybody.

    Today these two beauties arrived. I´ve bought them from private. Hope I didn`t pay to much. Somebodys granddad died. I think they are both real. If not I can give them back. All opinions are welcome. It`s a bit funny for me that one man earned the destroyer and the u-boat badge. What do you think, is that possible?

          Both are great originals. I think it could be possible that he got both badges, perhaps he served first on an destroyer and then on an u-boat ?

            Thanks Alex. I thought the same. Maybe the destroyer sank and he had to go to the U-boats. Is the U-boat a Zimmermann???

                I agree, both appear to be nice originals - great additions!

                Yes, definitely a possible combination. Later in the war, as the major surface fleet was reduced by attrition, more and more sailors went into U-boats (they had "attractive"/elitist recruiting drives - and better pay for more danger!) and smaller surface units qualifying for the Minesweeper badge. In later war photos it's not uncommon to see combinations of 2 badges, normally involving either a U-boat or Minesweeper Badge.

                      Congrats! Both badges are very nice and in great condition. I would say the u-boat is a Zimmermann IMHO.
