zinc U-boat Badges from the MAX

[Tom Yanacek]

Hello to all,

I picked up two zinc U-boat Badges at the recent MAX Show. Although I was not really looking for U-boat badges at this year's show, I could not pass up these two badges.

The first is an unmarked badge, believed to have been made by Juncker.

The second is a B.H. Mayer badge, marked with their LDO code number 'L/18'.

Best regards,
Tom

The Juncker U-Boat is fast becoming my first or second favorite U-the eagle is many times better than a Schwerin U-Boat "eagle". Good seein you at the show Tom,
