Cased U Boat Badge

[david_iu]

Dear all, I know cased KM badges are rare. I am happy to be able to spot a FO marked CASED U Boat badge. According to the owner, the badge citation is found inside the upper portion of the case. My only concern is the scratch in the title of the case. Any comments? Thanks!

Hello David,

While the badge itself appears to be ok, the case and the document are fakes.

Best regards,
Tom

If your sure, I'll pull it off the site right away. I knew the badge was good.

I must admit, though I can tell a good sub badge, I'm obviously not up to speed on these cases. I told the collector he could post the badge on the forum to be sure. I do my best.

F.d.U. (West) was Kapitän zur See Hans Rudolf Rösing. This signature is not his. The eagle ink stamp is not good either.

The case is what is referred to as a "lattice" fake. It also looks like ball-point pen was used on the number inside the case.

Thanks so much for your help. If I told you who this badge was originally sold by you would be shocked. I will trash the case and document and just sell the badge. At least I know that's real.

Hello Gailen,

You have one of the best reputations in the hobby. Please don't trash anything until you get other opinions on the case and document in question.

It is interesting to note that when the badge was originally sold to the collector I got it from there was no mention of the document being behind the lid. I only discovered it when I took the inside lid off to look at the case construction. It's a jungle out here! I do appreciate your help in this matter.

Agreed, the case font is also scratched so as not to detect it wrong, or to add wear artificially.

Actually, either is correct in German and in historical usage, depending on whether it's written as one word or as separate hyphenated words:
U-Boot-Kriegsabzeichen
Ubootskriegsabzeichen

Please take Tom's advice Gailen and post the case on the cases and packets forum for other opinions before you trash it.

Gailen, since you allowed me to post this entire set here, I will post a thread on the case alone on the case forum.
