U-Boat War badge

[Clive6178]

Hello All This is my first post Thank you for a great site!
I have a Friedrich Orth U-boat war badge, which I obtained as a child.
Ten years or so after the war there was still plenty of things being traded at school. I remember trading a incendiary fin which still had about 100mm of magnesium attached for the U-boat war medal.
Most of the guilding has gone which is a pity but otherwise is in good condition.
I understand this unusual pin position badge was sometimes privatly purchased. I will post some pics when I have worked it out.

Hello Clive,

Welcome to the forum. It looks like a nice, U-boat Badge. There are a lot of convincing copies of the Friedrich Orth U-boat Badge, but this one looks completely original. The horizontal pin setup was pretty much standard for U-boat Badges by Friedrich Orth.

Best regards,
Tom

Thanks

Thank you Peter for posting the pictures. I have had this since about 1955. Long before people thought about making fake ones. Its a pity I don't know any more of its history.
