High seas fleet badge made by a jeweler

[Gregorio Torres]

I have got a very nice High seas fleet badge made by a jeweler. It´s made in silver 800 (it have a mark (800) in the needle, and this is the only one mark).
The badge have a very high quality, from my point of wiew, but I´m not an expert in this kind of badge.
So, please, could anybody tell me how much is an item like this???
Thank you very much in advance and best regards from Spain.

I have sent the pictures to Joseph. I hope he post it in the forum as soon as posible.
There is no doubt about the authenticity of the badge. I can sure you that this was made before 1945. This badge came to my hands directly from a KM officer´s family with a lot of other items (documents, pictures, badges, tallyribons,...).
Perhaps the jeweler weren´t allowed to make war badges, but there are a lot of exemples which prove that this rule was infringed frequently.
My question is: how much may be the price of this badge?

In my opinion that value must be based upon what a collector wants to pay. Some may not be interested at all, as it´s a non regulation piece.
To a hardcore Kriegsmarine collector it might be VERY interesting.
And of course the quality means a lot. Were are the pictures?

Whoww !

I guess your never to old to learn in this hobby but as far as I'm concerned I have never seen anything that even comes close to this badge, neither good or bad.

Let's hope other members have.

Not seen anything like this before with the hollow stamping on the reverse.

Is it 800 marked?, What is the pin made of?
