U boat badge. Need opinions.

[Enclave]

Once again I am in need of services from You. Should I get this one?

Hello,

this is a French made award attributed to the firm of Bacqueville,Paris.

Not one for me,but if you beleive that the French made KM awards by Bacqueville are period pieces,then by all means get this one.

Some collectors like them,some do not.

Here is a very exstensive thread on the subject of these French made awards.

Regards,Martin.

Where did you get your's? From Lithuania? It it said they weren't delivered, or very little, so is your's was found in Lithuania it would mean there was some movement of these around Europe!!

Could you show some close up of the catch?

It is in Norway or Sweden. These are the only photos I've got. I am still not considered if I should get this type badge.
