Unusual U-boat

Just got this one in and it appears to be a zinc B H Mayer but with an intact tombak badge setup. Anyone got one like this?

Thanks for looking

Patrick

Thanks for posting those great badges guys, Dave the setup on yours is almost the same as mine, I guess they must be transitional pieces between the tombak and zinc badges. I'm amazed the catches are still on all 3 shown!

Hi Dave....you might have...

Patrick...I have had a tomback with yet a different reverse, and another zinc that had a different pin,

Hi guys have come across these Zink awards with various reverse set up, possibily using up old stock? The zink juncker style are another of the awards with differing styles of reverse. All the best

I agree with Patrick on this. Since these badges were not included in Gordon Williamson's Torpedo Los where he showed the tombak example and the totally different in design zinc example, it is good to get these images in our database.

Good thread. John
