I think if you had posted this on the Kriegsmarine badges forum you would get more responses.

Don, I can't argue with that

I'm not crazy about the badge material nor the makers mark.

[Lubo]

Not only the material and the reverse set up, but the eagle appears that it is NOT made with the same die as the eagle (wreath) on the original buntmetal destroyer!
I don't like it either!

Wojciech,

This is a poor cast reproduction from an original badge. I could go into the numerous problems with this one, but a simple search of this forum and comparison with originals will quickly point you in the right direction.

However, since I do not like "fake" replies either, the wreath is incorrect as are the veins in the wreath. Just look at the outline of the wreath to the top left as you view it and that is enough.

The reverse shows how the two parts of the badge were put together with one half not even fitted to the other.

Mast is wrong--many other aspects are not correct either.
