Thanks for the photos, it was just as I thought. An interesting badge for me as it is of the early pattern with the thin neck and frosted top wing but shows the raised foredeck often seen on the later type pieces. The early badges are normally found with a round wire catch. Later style badges have the later formed shape flat wire catch with the flat bottom to aid attachment.

I think this is the first Schwerin U-boat I've seen with the early 'C' type flat wire catch. IMO sort of a "transition" piece. Thanks for posting.

There was another example of this particular variant posted in 2007 by Karsten S.

And another posted even earlier in 2003 by Ralph A. (posts #5,6,7)
