Kreigsmarine badge question

[Andy B.]

Hello Guys,
I was just curious if the kriegsmarine badges ever came with a straight rounded pin as opposed to a coke bottle style? If so does that mean its a late war type? Thanks in advance!

Hi Andy,

Yes they did, but whether it's genuine or not will depend on the maker and period of production (more than likely a later-war zincer).
