High sea fleetbadges (Scherin and RS & S)

[Claude Bertin]

Hello,
Here are two HSF badges, I think that the "RS & S" is not an original due to the type of pin and catch, for the "Schwerin", I don't know? May I have your opinions? Thanks for comments, regards, Claude

Rs & s,

Hi Claude,

The Schwerin appears to be an honest orignial zincer with weak or absent 5th (left) bridge window.

The RS&S is a known fake - a search should turn up more of them.

Regards
Mike

I agree with Mike.

The Schwerin is a good original zinc badge.

The RS&S is a well known fake.



Regards,Martin.

That RS&S still gets around plenty, you would think that with the forum's this sort of badge would be long consigned to the bin from where it came.

I agree, original Schwerin and fake RSS HSFs.
Cheers,
